she has only not attended at derby day twice in her long reign, in 1952. so, it is not the official platinumjubilee programme, you can see it is a dating her it clearly, the news after trooping the colour, we saw her on the balcony twice, she was beaming, she was interacting, some really lovely pictures of her and her great grandson, louis, but at the end of the day, it emerged that despite what these pictures showed, she was suffering from some discomfort. we have that news on thursday evening that she wasn't going to be able to attend the national service of thanksgiving that was held yesterday at st paul's cathedral. when you think of the queen and the fact that the faith is very important to her, that would have been an environment —— a very important engagement for her to attend. anything that requires a long journey, travel, isjust meaning that her advisers are saying it is just too much. meaning that her advisers are saying it isjust too much. and so, she won't be there today. butjust as she watched the service of thanksgiving on the television yesterday, and there were some lovely little allusions to her love of horses by the archbishop of york. today, she is expected to be watching the epsom derby from home in windsor, so at least you won't have to suffer. fix, in windsor, so at least you won't have to suffer.— have to suffer. a quick thought about harry — have to suffer. a quick thought about harry and _ have to suffer. a quick thought about harry and meghan, - have to suffer. a quick thought i about harry and meghan, because have to suffer. a quick thought - about harry and meghan, because it is their daughter's first birthday today, people might be aware and there has been a note to that from there has been a note to that from the formal quarters, certainly on twitter. , , ~ ., twitter. yes, indeed. the duke and duchess of — twitter. yes, indeed. the duke and duchess of cambridge _ twitter. yes, indeed. the duke and duchess of cambridge have - twitter. yes, indeed. the duke and duchess of cambridge have wished | twitter. yes, indeed. the duke and i duchess of cambridge have wished her a happy first birthday, as has prince charles on social media. so, much has been made over the last couple of years since their move to north america, the interview with 0prah north america, the interview with oprah winfrey, thoughts with them that things weren't happy within the windsor household, so i guess people will be seeing this as a nice gesture from one to the other. people were looking very closely at the service yesterday to see if there was any interaction between prince harry and meghan, and i think it was very carefully choreographed, they arrived earlier than his brother and father, the left at a different time, and they sat far enough apart but there wasn't really any indication of any interaction between them. i think people were looking very carefully but that wasn't going to happen. they did not go to the guild hall reception straight after the service, which is where most of the royal family has gone to. again, that would have been a time that we could see maybe relations were better perhaps, so we have not been able to draw any conclusions from anything because the pictures simply haven't been there. ., ~' ,, , . the pictures simply haven't been there. . ~ ,, , . , there. thank you very much. plenty more to come _ there. thank you very much. plenty more to come today _ there. thank you very much. plenty more to come today and _ there. thank you very much. plenty more to come today and tomorrow. j more to come today and tomorrow. this is the third day of four days of commemorations of the queen's 70 years on the throne. i have mentioned the huge number of people who are already turning appear for the big party tonight. diana ross, the big party tonight. diana ross, the headliner of course. george ezra, durannd much more besides. we will be talking about the music on the line up a little bit later today he on bbc news. we have got a music critic to come to join us later to give us his thoughts on that line this evening. 0ur man, john maguire, as he does these days, he has been out and about. i haven't even banned in yes, i haven't had a chance. he is somewhere around here and he has been chatting to those people who have been turning up very early because they want a good spot to the concert tonight. let's hear who he has been chatting to. down on the mall, as you can see, the crowds are really building, if you are with us earlier on. so many more people than were here earlier. i wanted to come and say hello to these guys because we cut them short last time. hello, how are you?

0ur grandchildren have left. we don't know how they are. as the battle for severodonetsk continues, on the streets, ukrainian police evacuate stranded residents. if russia can take this city, it will have a path into the donbas. if the ukrainians can stop them, they will win a battle that could determine the outcome of this war. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv. police in hong kong have been out in force on the 33rd anniversary of the military crackdown near beijing's tiananmen square. this year's vigil, which usually takes place in hong kong's victoria park, has been banned and police have theatened to arrest those who choose to gather. the event remembers people killed by the authorities in china in 1989 during peaceful pro—democracy protests. here's our asia pacific editor, michael bristow, on the importance of marking the event in hong kong. across mainland china, there's been no public commemoration of what happened in tiananmen square in 1989 at all. it's banned completely and real strict censorship of even any online mention of it. but in hong kong, which had different rights and freedoms, the last 30 years there's been a massive commemoration in victoria park, sometimes attended by hundreds of thousands of people. over the last couple of years, the authorities in hong kong have sought to ban those commemorations, suggesting covid restrictions made them illegal. this year, though, it seems to be a little bit different in that they're just saying, "this is an unauthorised assembly". they've closed off the park. there's a heavy police presence. anyone going near the park who even appears to be engaged in some kind of protest or commemoration is being stopped by the police and questioned, so it seems this is really a little bit of a turning point in that the authorities are saying, "look, these are just illegal events". and so, in the future, it's unlikely even when covid restrictions are lifted, that the authorities are going to allow this kind of commemorations to take place in hong kong, and hong kong is going to be just like everywhere else in mainland china, not be able to commemorate the tiananmen massacre. we will take you straight to buckingham palace, and that is at the mall in front of buckingham palace. you can't see the crowds, but believe me from the bottom of the screen all the way up to that particular stage, you can see that at the end, are people enjoying this jubilee concert. we havejust at the end, are people enjoying this jubilee concert. we have just had the nile rodgers performance with a duranthe way down the spine. # girls on film. # girls on film. i # girls on film. ~ ,, # girls on film. ~' ,, ., ~' # girls on film. ~ ., ~ ~ ., ~ out # girls on film. i think you worked out each and _ # girls on film. i think you worked out each and you _ # girls on film. i think you worked out each and you are _ # girls on film. i think you worked out each and you are heeding -

welcome to newswatch with me, rebecca jones, standing in for samira this week. coming up: after his report on the persecution of the uyghurs, the bbc�*s former beijing correspondent tells us about challenges of reporting in and about china. and the court case between johnny depp and amber heard is over. did bbc news give the trial too much attention? first, just in case you hadn't noticed, we're halfway through the platinum jubilee weekend. and it's pretty clear that news channels and bulletins, as well as television more widely, are fully embracing the celebrations. and there we have the formation of 70. applause the queen smiles in appreciation. perfect formation. oh, that's wonderful. but it's pretty noisy. when the dust has settled next week, we'll be looking in more detail at your reactions to how bbc news has covered thejubilee. but, in the meantime, here's a couple of contrasting responses to what you've seen so far. first from mel, writing on thursday. but for alan mccloskey: do let us know your thoughts on what is clearly a divisive issue and there will be details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. meanwhile, there have been equally strong reactions to reporting of the defamation case fought over the past six weeks betweenjohnny depp and his ex—wife amber heard. the verdict from the united states came in time for wednesday's news at ten. do you find that mr depp has proven all the elements of defamation? answer, yes. the jury was unanimous in its verdict. johnny depp took his ex—wife to court over an article she wrote which falsely implied he's abused her. a number of viewers told us they thought the prominence given to the verdict in that programme and, more generally, to the case over the past few months was unjustified. here's chris mitchell. since when has a mucky marriage dispute been newsworthy? again and again we have seen the depp case on tv, on prime—time news, and it really is unacceptable. are yourjournalists and editors in your news office so amateurish that they can't see the wood for the trees, all they can see isjohnny depp and hollywood? please, bbc, get rid of that news item, we've had enough of it. inflation and the cost of living are featuring more and more often in news bulletins. one example being this headline on monday evening. a new measure of the price of basic ingredients shows essentialfood prices rising. in one case, by up to 50% in a year. but was that a fair representation of what's going on with basic food costs? not according to pauljohnson, the director of the widely respected institute of fiscal studies, who also took exception to this similar headline in a bbc online article on the same day. both the article and the full tv report made clear that the average price rise of 30 budget food items ats supermarkets was actually below the rate of inflation. mrjohnson tweeted: last weekend, sunday morning included an interview with the russian ambassador to the uk, andrei kelin. the presenter, clive myrie, showed the ambassador cctv footage of two russian soldiers killing two ukrainian civilians who were walking away from them. is this how russia is conducting this war? i cannot tell whether they are russian soldiers or who else's soldiers... they are absolutely russian soldiers. it has been verified, sir. crosstalk. it's been verified, they are russian soldiers. crosstalk. you have showed me something, probably a piece of a field or a piece of a game, or a joke or whatever — a computer game. and telling me... let's see what it is. cctv. great. cctv footage from a building. it has been corroborated. andy aiken wondered: but most viewers applauded the interview. here's diane calvert. now, last week, bbc news revealed significant evidence it had uncovered about china's treatment of the uyghurs and other minority groups in the country's xinjiang region. here's the start ofjohn sudworth's powerful report. these are the faces china never intended us to see, from inside its system of mass incarceration in xinjiang. the government has long denied it's running detention camps for uyghurs, insisting instead they are "vocational schools" for willing students. there were plaudits for that and what followed, including one on twitter from the peer, lord alton. but, unsurprisingly, the chinese establishment were less enamoured. with dr kin kam tweeting: . well, courageous or infamous, john sudworth joins us now from new york, where he is now based. great you have you with us, john, thanks forjoining us. and i wonder, how familiar are those sorts of comments, insults, whichever you prefer, from your time as a correspondent in china? well, i'm very familiar, of course, rebecca, it is now part and parcel of, you know, the landscape of not just china reporting, but reporting any story where truths are contested, where there are alternative. ——where there are alternative facts. i think, you know, the important thing with this story and the thing that, of course, makes it so powerful, is that there's evidence, tens of thousands of documents, and in the photos, in the spreadsheets, in the data relating to individuals that we could verify and show to contain real people with real addresses in real locations, photos we can show to be taken in real locations, spreadsheets of personal information about police officers working inside some of these camps in xinjiang, with — attached to real cellphone numbers that we can phone and verify, with some of them rather ill—advisedly confirming who they were, their names and their positions. so this could be verified, this could be authenticated, people can look at it and judge for themselves. nonetheless, the chinese have dismissed your report as a falsehood and a smear, and the data was said to be hacked from police computers and leaked online — so how reliable can we really think it is? well, again, you know, the question of course is the evidence itself. you know, like any broadcaster, any news organisation dealing with this kind of information, when it's been hacked, when it has been leaked, when it comes from an unauthorised source, there are questions about whether it's in the public interest. the bbc felt clearly in this case, as in other cases where this kind of information has been handled and reported, that there was a very strong public interest justification. this is, after all, an allegation of the mass incarceration of more than a million people on the basis of their ethnicity and faith, and this was compelling evidence about it, which needed to be weighed and considered carefully. which is precisely what our investigation does. and, you know, the online report goes through, step—by—step, the way we were able to authenticate this information. john, in your report we also see you on a tour in xinjiang, being shown the uyghurs celebrating their culture. how much did what you see convince you? so, we were invited into those, we were taken into four camps back in 2019. in a sense, nobody was more surprised to be invited on that tour than us. we had already done a significant amount of reporting about what was happening in xinjiang that had already sort of drawn heavy criticism from the chinese authorities. we knew there were risks involved, obviously taking any offer of any government facility, an embed, if you like, with the chinese communist party, was fraught with editorial risk. we knew we had to work hard to try to independently verify what we were being shown, to ask the questions to try to penetrate the surface to look for the reality. in the end, it obviously didn't do what china hoped it would do. it, in fact, produced further evidence that the people in those facilities are not there by choice. that comes across very clearly in reporting. john, you lived and worked in china for nine years, last year you left beijing, we are now talking to you from new york. just tell us a little bit more about why you left. i'm not the onlyjournalist in recent years to have been forced out. this is a sort of time—honoured tradition in authoritarian states, similar patterns, similar stories from my bbc colleagues and others in russia, of course, as well. and in the end, for me, i think it was clear that we were approaching — through the years of reporting xinjiang, through my reporting on the outbreak of covid for example, all of these stories were the chinese authorities do not want journalists working independently, asking questions, interviewing, travelling the country — there are consequences to pay. for me the final thing was the threat to take legal action against me. the risks were nearly rising, and in the end we felt that the dangers had begun to outweigh the benefits and the value that i could provide by staying. john, really good to talk to you. our correspondentjohn sudworth, thank you. thank you for your comments this week. if you want to share your about how the bbc covers the news, e—mail: . or you can find us on twitter: you can call us on: and do have a look at our website: that's all from us. samira will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc coverage next week. from me, though, and the rest of the team, bye—bye. good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty at buckingham palace, and rogerjohnson in the studio. our headlines today... it's party time at the palace. some of the music industry's biggest stars come together for a concert to celebrate the jubilee party at the palace. stars from the music industry come together for a concert to celebrate thejubilee. prince charles and prince william will take centre stage, as it's expected the queen won't be attending. good morning from epsom downs racecourse on derby day. it's one of the queen's favourite sporting events and although she won't be here in person this year, they will be celebrating her influence on the sport of horse racing. also on the programme... an investigation is underway into why a trail derailed in southern germany, killing four people and injuring 30. countdown to kilimanjaro. manchester bomb survior martin hibbert arrives in tanzania, as he prepares to climb africa's highest moutain. and whilst much of scotland and northern ireland stay dry and sunny through the rest of this platinum jubilee weekend, for parts of england and wales, there is an increasing chance of thunderstorms and heavy rain. i will have all the details here on breakfast. it's saturday 4thjune and there's still a whole weekend ofjubilee celebrations ahead, to give thanks to the queen for her 70—year reign. i'm here at buckingham palace where a special concert takes place tonight. you may be able to hear sound checks going on behind me. there are four stages now. it has been increased from three since yesterday. 22,000 people will gather for the platinum party at the palace, when the prince of wales and the duke of cambridge will pay tribute to the queen for her enduring service. i think about 5000 people will be standing around the stage and 17,000 in the stands and lots of people have been gathering this morning at the mall. just with the hope of seeing what might be going on, the crowds are not there yet. as i walked in this morning people were sitting down wrapped up, hopefully at least they will get to hear this extravaganza, this concert full of massive stars who are going to be performing. everyday life still goes on. the horses were being walked, often from hyde park stables they get worked every morning, we have seen security checks, had the sniffer dogs here in the studio, life, work still continuing as preparations are under way. we will also see the prince of wales paying tribute to the queen for her enduring service. the derby at epsom also takes place afternoon, but the queen will not attend. instead she's expected to watch the event on television from windsor castle. ahead of this evening, stars gathering, getting ready for their performances for this platinum party at the palace concert. the queen did not attend a service of thanksgiving at st paul's yesterday. we were told she had been experiencing some discomfort so will not be at epsom. our royal correspondent sarah campbell has the details. would you like another one? the queen's love of horses is well known. these pictures were filmed earlier this year, at the royal stud. however, she won't be attending the epsom derby later today, but will watch on the television instead. just as she watched yesterday's national service of thanksgiving at st paul's cathedral. her mobility issues prevented her being there in person to hear the thanks for a lifetime dedicated to faith and public service. her family were there, however, including her grandson and his wife, prince harry and meghan making their first appearance at a royal event for two years. whatever had been said in the past, this was a time for the family to come together. it was the duke and cambridge and the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall who processed through the cathedral to represent the monarch and lead the thanksgiving. there was an appropriately equine theme to the archbishop of york's sermon. we are sorry that you are not here with us this morning, but we are so glad that you are still in the saddle and we are glad that there is still more to come. on thursday, the mall was full of thousands of thousands of people here to watch the dazzling military parade. on friday, there was the poignant and reflective service of thanksgiving. this weekend is all about dancing, music, and lunch. perhaps watching the weekend weather forecast, the partying has already got under way in parts of the uk, including here in glasgow. thousands morejubilee lunches, pageants and parties will take place today and tomorrow. and tonight, this huge set, built in front of buckingham palace, will see the

get going forward, maybe if you're lucky a 10th of an inch or less on balance. but again, it's the moisture at the surface that we'd like there's the golden gate bridge for you. you can see the south tower appearing out there. but elsewhere, it's kind of obstructive by the fog, which is actually intensified from the east bay shoreline. a lot of cloud cover we're deal with and around the bay around water. expect the fog to remain for good chunk of the day today. so jumping to that part. we do see the clearing happening inland, but it never really clears out along the coast in spills back across the bay into some of those valleys here by tomorrow morning. and that will mix out pretty quickly tomorrow. stormtracker 4 showing it in the motion. as you can see, that rain extends off to the mountains as well west to east travels. temperatures are mostly in the 60's right now as we can speak. not a lot of movement is expected this afternoon with us and the contrast to some half a dozen degrees or better from yesterday. so keep it mostly cloudy. some better clearing happening inland thicker fog towards the coast. temperatures upper 70's coming up in a bit. we will have more on that

overnight in a greeting us this morning to watch the wet roads concentration. >> true to form in these because these winter type systems in those late in the season for it, we're in the north bay was in the north bay. we're still seeing that happening right now as we speak. very spotty scattered. that's the best way of phrasing it really for everybody because it's all over. the bay right now is actually reaching us to tell a t for coverage area not doing as well in those inland areas, which is somewhat typical getting in the inland spots going over partick of that rain here. but we're getting the fog around the immediate bay as well. folks try to sneak a peek as you can see off to the distance there. but there's the south tower and the east bay shoreline is now kind of obscured by all this fog that we have going on now. that's going to partially clear today. but really we're not going to see really good bay area clearing with the fog business until we get to tomorrow late morninga and that will clear up pretty quickly. so stormtracker for their see the pattern west to east with rain across much of the bay for right now. temperature check were in the 60's, very mild with the cloud cover in the rain all at hand here like a somewhat mild system as well, wasn't really much of a cold. one and what the future cast for kind of watch this all play out. got to keep some scattered showers in the early part of the forecast. partial clearing inland. you will notice also up to the north bay, too. don't forget, though, because of all the rain that we've had as soon as the sun starts to set, that's going to radiation fog along with our typical advection fog coming in from the pacific. so thick fog will return tonight and tomorrow morning. but then clearing up pretty quickly into tomorrow afternoon with all of this. and then it's really a way we go with those temperatures as well. even though we do see a system midweek here. so for the winds, so no surprise with this pretty much on shore that continues today this afternoon. tonight through it looks like into tuesday, most of the readings will be in the teens with some lower 20's here. and there a few early showers going on, lake clearing that will be mostly inland mild with 60's and 70's rule for this week in and out clouds warm monday through wednesday. 80's 90's happening late week on this. and then for next weekend, let's keep the 90's at hand here. still hot summer motor least a little flavor before we get to the first day of summer, illogical calendar, it started on june. first, 67 san

you need help navigating that process have concerns about ballot safety or just looking to sign for that site to cast your vote. you can look no further. we're talking about all of that today. joining me now is tommy gong with the coalition of bay area election officials. thank you so much for being here with us today both. thank you for having me this morning. you know the so that in 2020, especially we heard all these allegations about voter fraud and ballot fraud. so walk us through the facts said what should people know when it comes to the safety of their ballot? yeah, you know, elections has evolved over the years, especially. you know, when i started. >> shortly after the presidential election of 2000 that there are actually many, many safeguards that have been added to the election process. and it's a very robust system. and the counties all are following the state laws. and it has established by our legislators and us through some examples of some of the safeguards that are in place. with regard it has really increased over the last few years. and i think the state has recognized that more and more voters were voting by mail. it started in around 2002 with permanent will voting and that started out with about a 28% of those who are voting more voting by now over the last few elections. now, especially during the presidential election of 2020, we had about 87% turnout. and even during the recall election, we had over 90% of the voters who voted voted by now. and so there are as a result over the years, there have been a lot of safeguards built into the system. so, for instance, over the years of voting requires that voters sign the envelope. and in fact, we are required compare the signature on the envelope to the signature on file for every voter. we also have added a ballot tracking. that's something that the california secretary of state's office has facilitated really has added increase transparency for the voter to be able to look at where their ballot is in the mail and whether or not the election office has received it and then lastly, there's just all kinds of procedures that we do when we received the ballots, their chain of custody procedures moyes 2 people are with the ballots. and so security is a high priority for us to maintain the integrity of the election. and how do you make sure that people only vote once? yes, you know, that's a really fascinating thing that that additional add-on as a result of the 2000 president bush signed what is called help america vote act and that included that every state had established a vote that statewide voter registration database and that essentially what that does is it links up all 58 counties in california so that we can actually see if a voter voted in another county, for example, or if and in by us doing this when we're processing the vote by mail ballot, they're the voters are immediately being given voting history. so in today's time now with all of the technology that we have, for instance, if somebody comes to a vote center to check in at to vote even though they have already set their vote by mail ballot. the county will be able to see that they have actually already voted. and in that case, there's always a slash council voting were in that in that instance, the voter would be allowed to cast a provisional ballot because their eligibility to vote has not been established at the time that they came to the today in-person voting location. >> and also, mentioned that the numbers of people mailing in their ballots and voting by mail that increased significantly over the last several years. but also tell us about the option to vote in person and the benefits of doing that. >> yes, exactly. you know, even though there has been more and more a higher degree of voting by mail county sub always and be required to still provide in-person voting experience a boat or should they should they need to do so. so it is kind of a choice of the voter to decide what they want to do. so i should back up little bit. a b, 37 require that receive a ballot in the mail. all registered voters will receive about in the mail. that was really game changer. that is reminiscent of the 2020 election. you know, in response to the covid a pandemic, you know, we were required to sen. to all registered voters. and so therefore, encourage voters to vote by now because of the pandemic. but yet there was still opportunity for people to vote in person and that included, you know, people sometimes require assistance when they come when they vote, for instance, a disabled voters might need to use equipment that we have at the in person, voting voting locations in order to cast her ballot confidentially and independently, for example. and sometimes people just prefer to vote in if they need assistance in terms of language, meaning that they speak a language other than english, that many counties, how those required link, which is being provided in translation of the ballot. >> and we're also hearing that voter turnout this year so far appears to have to be pretty low. how are things looking out in your neck of the woods in contra costa county? as of yesterday when we picked up after we picked up the mail were about 13% of turnout. so far, 13%, statewide on friday, at least one when the state released or statistics. >> we were at 11% turnout statewide. so it's quite low, though, watershed low mark for the state was the gubernatorial election in 2014 and that was at 25.1 7%. so we hope to exceed at least that for us as election officials. you know, we put on, you know, big we like to think of it as like a wedding or party and you're inviting all of your, you know, members of your community to come and vote. and lo and behold, if only 20% of the guests that you invited to show up, then that's really kind of disparaging for us as election officials. and so last quick question here, they're here for them for you is a what's the message to those who have not gotten their ballots in yet? yes, there still a chance to do so. voters can can vote in person, but they can still mail in their ballot. they can drop it off at the post office. they can drop it off at one of the county's drop boxes or they can delivered a lot of voters actually like to turn in their ballots in person. so they feel that they're still doing their civic duty. my dropping off their vote by mail ballot in person. so they drop it off at in-person location or at county elections office. and so they still feel that they're doing so. but i should say that vote by mail ballots have to be postmarked on or before election day. so if you're going to drop off your ballot at the post office or in a mailbox, you might want to really think about if it's in the afternoon of election day, you may want to go into the post office counter and request what what they call a circle dates doubt that actually shows the date. and so therefore, you can ensure that your ballot is going to count because it really the postmark as what's required in order for us to be able to count that ballot. >> we're getting important reminder. thank you so much. tommy gone with the coalition of bay area election officials and also representing contra costa county. we appreciate your insight this morning. thank you. all right. we'll be thank

they're not a lot of quantitatively. this is going to be clearing out a little bit, but we'll keep the cloud cover through much of the day looks forecast. we come back. i'm dan o'dowd and i approved this message. elon musk promised to pay a million customers $30,000 a year if they bought his car. they bought his car. so, where's their money? he promised customers if they bought his car, its value would increase to $200,000. they bought his car. so, where's their money? he promised investors if they bought his stock, they would get $50 billion a year in profits from robotaxis. they bought his stock. so, where's their money? and he told investors tesla was worth $1 trillion by claiming tesla was the leader in driverless robotaxi technology. but tesla doesn't have driverless robotaxi technology. tesla's full self-driving software requires a driver! many other companies have already deployed driverless robotaxis that are way ahead of tesla's. so where's the investors' money? in the last year, elon musk pulled $48 billion out of tesla, seven times the profits they've ever made. his ceo compensation was 1,000 times the average for a fortune 500 ceo. elon, is your full self-driving software just a trillion-dollar ponzi scheme? did you become the wealthiest man in history by swindling customers and investors? i'm dan o'dowd and i'm running for u.s. senate because congress needs to shut down elon musk's full self-driving fiasco. someone needs to stand up to him. >> hey, welcome back. we have dave spahr standing by with our weather forecast. just how long is that rain going to last for days? well, stephanie looks like morning phenomena will be left. however, with all this moisture in its wake. so that means that fog is probably not going to clear out for a good chunk of the bay through the day today. there's the tracking of that you can see is probably reaching us totality in terms of coverage area before it starts to break up as we go into the later morning and early afternoon hours. take a gander. what's going on up the coast now? we might clear out some of the surface round fog a little bit as we go to the late morning hours. but this overcast. >> at coastal locations that's going to probably be with us all day today. not a fairly mild system that moved through. so temperatures to start are fairly mild to warm, but the not going to warm up much more this afternoon. the warmup we're talking about is later this week ahead. let's hand it back to future cast for you'll see where we stand. that scattered shower activity really starts to break up as we head into the afternoon, even with some partial clearing happening well inland. however, with all the surface moisture, the fog will redevelop tonight only to break up for the afternoon. we going to mostly sunny mode and temperatures climbing all week long. by the way, in tahoe, they're going to feel it too. 77 by tuesday, wednesday, the same temperatures will continue to climb later this week as we see the same here in the bay. back to that tropical system we're talking about this may be a problem for now, it's a tropical storm, alex, not a threat to land. it's moving away from the continent. so that's good news. there. back on the west coast, what's left over from the rain? we go into clearing mode. some scattered clouds midweek. but boy, really affect temperatures too much. we just see a little bump on the road and then towards the latter portion of the week, go back to sunny and really starting to warm up yet again will be in the business of the middle to upper 90's. looks like by friday 4 zone forecast. not to be that exciting, but we tend to see this with a rain event. a lot of uniformity with temperatures all over the milk's and cranny. 67 san francisco mid-sixties covering the coast. meanwhile, along the bay side of peninsula, 70 will do it around. burlingame bump that up a little bit heading south in the upper 70's, the south bay also in the upper 70's, too east bay shoreline, mid 70's. watch the fog upper 70's for tri valley. 75 walnut creek, concord. 76 68 richmond. 62 vallejo, 70 for napa. and 73 going on for santa rosa. here it is. your seven-day forecast. 83 by wednesday. just a break. back to the business. the 90's to finish off the week and heading into next weekend. stephanie. >> thanks very much, dave, for your health this morning. nearly 700,000 californians and 6 and a half million americans live with alzheimer's disease. june is alzheimer's and brain awareness month. you're here to tell us more about this disease and its early signs that we should keep an eye out for is our health expert karen owoc. good morning, karen. good morning, stephanie. all right. so let's talk a bit about alzheimer's versus dementia, which is it? what should people be looking out for? >> so these 2 terms are used interchangeably, but they're very different. so dementia is just the name of a group of symptoms and it's not a disease per se. and it's also it's stage where indicates that the brain cells are starting to die off and it's not considered dementia until it's severe enough that the patient is having difficulty performing activities of daily living. so if you are typically get where you put your keys here, what they're in there once in a while, that's not dementia. that's just forget so but but also heimer says is very specific in it falls under the umbrella of dementia and it is specific and that and that it's characterized by these and amyloid plaque and tangled bundles of fibers that are in the brain and and alzheimer's. it has actually the most common form of dementia comprising about 60 to 80% of the cases. what are some of the root causes of dementia and alzheimer's? so fementia and we'll all eimer's. so specifically. >> there are actually i think they'd be great if we could go into this even more next week, san and going to some of the preventive measures because there's so much science behind that. >> there are signs and symptoms that are very typical of alzheimer's. and number one, memory loss that's the most common. and that's just not being able to retain information. and if you like, i said, if if you forget your shopping list, you forget things here. and there that's not dementia. that's not alzheimer's. and but difficulty performing familiar tasks. so if you forget, forget how to follow a recipe are headed. make a phone call or how to brush your teeth. those things are more indicative of alzheimer's. also problems with this is where so the alzheimer's patient would have difficulty carrying on a conversation because they kind of forget words. you know, might forget the name of a toothbrush, an object and they'll you know, that thing i put in my mouth, that would be problems with language. if you forget what you're so you're playing in at one point, don't fret. that's not alzheimer's. it's that's normal. and what are some conditions that might suggest that somebody may be headed towards a positive dementia diagnosis? so if you have well alzheimer's, but also parkinson's, parkinson's, if you've had a stroke. depression is also one that stroke, dementia, aids, lyme disease, those are all things that might indicate that you could be on the road towards dementia. and so that's why it's very important to diagnose alzheimer's or or dementia very early because there's so many different conditions that they could be causing decline. and that would be how i mean, every every. reason for dementia would have a different type of treatment. and what sort of steps can people take? 2 help prevent the early onset of dementia or alzheimer's. >> well, those are our lifestyle. this is a all the all the evidence now points towards lifestyle diseases and diseases that include cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes. those are some of the key ones all point towards a dementia and we have so it it and i'd love to go into this more next week as well. let's go back to some of the signs of dementia. you know it things about misplacing things. i think a lot of people really freak out because they say i forgot where i put my keys again. that's not to mention. that might be just forget fullness. also losing orientation with where they are. that's definitely a sign that could be a sign of alzheimer's, you know, getting lost or you are. but forgetting where you park your car, that kind of thing that that would be so much a sign of alzheimer's. all right, karen owoc, our health expert here, kron 4. thank you so much for your insight this morning. >> you're very welcome. that

north bay amounts a bit about maybe up to about a quarter of an inch of rain or so forth with this nice repellent for the fires going on. so that's good news on that front. and we can see the surface moisture in terms of fog around the immediate they although we can see the south tower here. this is a picture that may improve slightly this afternoon, but we probably won't see a lot of sun in the way of the immediate bay that's going to be more inland. that picture is east bay shoreline years. some work to be done here as well. this is actually a dig deteriorated through the morning hours. we've been talking to you earlier. we can actually see the east bay shoreline, but some of that surface fog has made its presence known. so that's going to be hard to mix out at the coast even by this afternoon. and then tonight, it then reforms across the wider base slipping into some of those valleys looks like, however, tomorrow story, this will all mix up very quickly. and we're back to the mostly sunny mode. give you a general idea how the rain off its basically light scattered showers working in the bay area. that will be mostly a morning phenomena and we'll be left over. was the fog and quite a bit in the way of the cloud cover temperatures on the mild side with this to upper 60's to be found in the east bay lower 60's up in the north bay with a mild system overhead. 74 by 1

happen during the playoffs. but now that they've had 2 days to process everything and watch the tape, the warriors say they could have played better defense, especially in the 4. >> i think we just have to play with more force on the defensive i think, you know, there were times in a game where they didn't fill us. you're playing against a great team at this level at this point this season, they have to fill you every possession, a locker room after the game was it was rough like no, no opportunity. we let slip in terms of, you know, that 4th quarter. but then kill your confidence that you can't come out sunday in and win that and that's where we're going. and that's what we're going to do. >> and tip off is set for game 2 at 05:00pm today. dave. >> all right. looking at some scattered showers across the bay for now, that will mix out for just cloudy. it looks like into the afternoon looks forecast. we come back to kron 4 morning news continues. i joined the district attorney's office to pursue justice for everyone. but like so many of my colleagues, i resigned in protest because chesa boudin interfered in every single case and failed to do his job. the office is absolutely in disarray right now. chesa dissolved my unit prosecuting car break-ins. now criminals flock to san francisco because there are no consequences. we can't wait. recall chesa boudin now. >> welcome back. time now for another check of our weather with meteorologist dave spahr date. it was pretty damp out there this morning coming into work. yeah. kind of an odd feeling that we have. good morning, stephanie. good morning, everybody. and a nice relief to coming june like this. here's the coverage area we see in stormtracker 4 now all night has been working its magic up in the north bay, but now it's pretty much trying to get everybody in. this is its last waning couple of hours. amounts have been about a quarter of an inch up towards the north. >> meanwhile, to the south, we're getting some activity also around the peninsula and the santa cruz mountains right up there. also a little chunk there. you can see off towards the east bay. this will be a morning phenomena. this will mix out to kind of a mostly cloudy story into the afternoon, although we see some better peeks of sun happening inland. here's the shot from the golden gate. we can actually see the north tower off to the distance. there, but kind of a hue of orange hears the sun rises up above all of that. meanwhile, the east bay shoreline, this imagery is kind of falling apart with that fog kind of continuing. that's the surface rain. all this moisture at the surface like this producing this ground fog. now we've got mid to upper 60's and place in the far east bay. this is before the sun is even had time to do its magic up in the north bay. meanwhile, lower 60 63 san francisco. so this has been a very mild system that's dropped off across the region, handing it over to future cast for not too much more to see as we go into the late afternoon hours. start to see some breaks happening off to the inland areas. but the fog returns tonight and at the does clear in parts of the bay, it will be back again by tomorrow morning. that will mix out pretty quickly by the late morning hours tomorrow. and then it's warming. it looks like for the remainder of the week. do have those winds on shore. they are although not providing too much cooling. certainly keeping us moist, though. and that's a nice fire repellent as we go into the day today tomorrow, even as well. so as far as what we're looking at, it's a few early showers. again, they will depart by noon lake, clearing mild with 60's and 70's 80's for much of the week. 90's towards the end of the week and keeping it going for next weekend for today. got 67 san francisco, 70 for oakland, 78. meanwhile, 4 san jose and across the wider bay, we're looking for some upper 70's happening for those in the valleys. okay. we'll take a look at the 4 zone forecast coming up in a bit. >> and just take a break right now in some in studio conversation. we come back. welcome back. concerns about public safety continue to rise. whether it's covid spread or gun crime. >> here to discuss what's being done to address those concerns in the city of berkeley is mayor jesse air again. mayor, thank you so much for joining us here with today. thank you for having me. all right. so first off, you introduced this month, new legislation to introduce a department of community safety for the city of berkeley. so walk us through what that proposal means and what that would with the impacts would be on residents in berkeley. >> so this new department, which were in the process of creating would house our police department, our fire department and a division of community respond ers and that would include trained mental health professionals to be responding to behavior health calls and calls regarding individuals who are deal with substance abuse and so the idea is we want to look at how we address public safety comprehensively, recognizing that public safety is more than just policing and that we have make sure that that the health and safety and wellness of our entire community is addressed. and this builds on the work that we started 2 years ago in the wake of george floyd's murder to look at re imagining public safety in berkeley. and so i think this will result in our in our police department being able to focus on addressing gun violence and other serious crime, making sure that we have the right people responding to the right calls and actually improving public safety services in the city of berkeley. so where we're at now is we just voted on may 5th, director city manager too begin a yearlong process to create this new department. and so i anticipate sometime next year will be a point where we'll be discussing creating this new department. so, you know, our goal is to engage. our police officers other first responders, our community and and helping shape this new this new vision. this new approach in hand. maybe the first city in california do this. and when that one of the when a few of the united states to do it, if we if we are to launch this department that and how much do you anticipate this is going to cost and where is that funding going to be coming from? some of it center reorganization of existing staffing and existing budgets you know, launching our new specialist care unit are said team of mental health, first that costs money. and that's some of the money we allocated through the american rescue the covid relief bill that the federal government passed some of which we think we fund sally savings in our police department. but the reality is, you know, roughly 40% of our calls for police department deal with somebody who's in a behavioral health care crisis. and that takes time away from a police officer's being up to deal with more serious crime. we are seeing an increase in gun violence not just in berkeley, but throughout the region. it is incredibly concerning. i'm sure we'll talk about the recent incident with a 16 year-old to write planned a mass shooting in our community. so we want, you know, people who are stuck to a train to respond to those in since to be available to respond to those incidents. while we're working to stop up our police department. and so we think that this this will ensure somebody with a badge and a gun and use trained to deal with those types of of serious criminal incidents will be able to respond appropriately and more. more and you know, and this the city of berkeley right now is seeing. >> very low staffing in terms of their police department. a lot of police departments nationwide are suffering from this. so what is the message for people and residents who live in that area when it comes to concerns about, oh, i don't no, if i feel safe walking around and in my neighborhood, you know, those concerns are real. and anyone who is a victim nobody should be that crime and our goal should be trying to prevent crime from happening. but that's going to require that we have adequate policing and we and we do more community or policing getting. >> police officers out of the cars walking the streets on bikes and gauging with merchants engage with the community. and so while we're looking create this department, we're also increasing staffing. our police department were not defunding the and i think that's important. i think we have to recognize that one. we need to have been adequately staffed and and trained police department. and we can also look at new transformative approaches that will better serve our community. i think we can do both those things. and that's the approach that were in play in berkeley. >> and what is the message to people who are apprehensive about seeing uniformed officers. you know, if recognize that comes either lived experience or are generations of trauma. >> you know, that's part of why we launched this effort, rematch of public safety. we have to look at how we can better build trust between law enforcement and the community. and confident that that will be an outcome of what we're doing. i'm not just getting our police out in the community, but building trust with some of communities. and one other element of the initiative that working on is launching a team of community service officers in our police department who can respond to things like noise, complaints like it doesn't make sense for police officer to respond 2 around park and berkeley. we have a lot of those because we're the home of the universe of california. berkeley go higher go bears you know, 70 double parking. and so by having this, this on team of community service officers when ali will help promote community policing but also reduce the need for some with a badge and a gun to respond to those calls, which they really don't need to respond to and let's talk a little bit about the issue that you just raised a few moments ago. >> police arresting a student at berkeley high for allegedly trying to create a recruit. other students to participate in a mass shooting and bombing plot. officers allegedly reportedly finding assault weapons and other. it's an explosive devices inside of this teenager's home. what's your reaction to that news? first of all, i mean, our community is alarmed and shaken. this comes just a week after the tragic massacre in uvalde, texas. i just heard on the way here now the shootings happened and sadly, we've become so used to it something has to change. it is unacceptable that kids go into schools are afraid that they may be killed in action. that cannot be the new normal in the united states. so so since that i first want to thank the berkeley police department for their very quick and effective there was a tip to the police department. the responded quickly to confiscate weapons and then working with our high school and working with mental health professionals arrested and intervened. now is this just a man is facing 3 felony counts, but we are working on trying to provide mental health care because there's a need for a mental health, mental health care for this. this young man you know, we have to recognize that the 2 years been very difficult for high school students from and for all cuts. and there's a need for us to expand mental health care, not just in our schools, high schools, but also in all levels of our schools. but we've taken steps in before this their say there's a team of police and counselors, mental health professionals that has been formed trip to deal with these types of increase school security, securing perimeter is of our high school yeah, our start staff and our high school train to respond to mass shooting incidents. they do mass shooting drills with our police department. if implemented protocols. so we were for the inevitable ultimately. i'm glad that in this case are police responded quickly, but i think that the shows how easy it is for kids to get cots and how our gun laws in the united states are broken. ghost guns. you know, fortune. fortunately, you know. he had sort of purchase pieces to assemble a rifle but had some of the rifle have purchased components to create a bomb and how create a that just shows how easy it is to create methods. weapons of mass destruction. this country. at what point are we going to get serious about reforming our gun laws? how many more kids are going to die until we actually do something? i mean, that the shooting happened today that should never happen. shooting involving texas should never happen. we have to get serious about addressing gun violence and gun safety, country. and last quick question here for you. is there what steps is the city of berkeley taking to ensure that 16 year-olds don't end up with parts to make a weapon inside of their home. but we ban goes a number of months ago before san francisco did. >> and are getting very serious about, you know, i'm holding people accountable who are purchasing? i mean, the fact you can buy kit online to be able to assemble a rifle are assembled. a gun is outrageous. and so that, you know, we're going to criminal action to deal with those situations. you know, i think it's not how we are supporting our young people. how are making sure that our young people feel safe at school, not just through, you know. the actual physical safety, but how we are reinforcing that safety. and then i think it's practive law action, which i think we did in this one case, proud of what we've done. you know, god forbid something could have escalated, but there's nothing preventing something from happening, the future. and so we have to be serious about keeping our kids safe. and that's something we've got to do every single day. all right. >> berkeley mayor, jesse air again, thank you so much for your insight in for coming on and joining us today.

she's going to die of embarrassment. i wish i was dead right now. all right, i'm going home! oh, it's fabulous. who else are you looking forward to seeing perform with you? because you've got the likes of diana ross... yeah. ..ed sheeran, sam ryder from eurovision. george ezra. 0h, of course. yeah, looking forward to seeing him. why — big fan? yeah, iam. we're supposed to be doing a pod thing together pretty soon, but ijust like him because he's different. he's clean cut and just looks different to every rock star i've ever seen. his style of singing is most unusual, because he's singing in, i think it's a baritone. great songwriter, and he's great. ilove him. breath of fresh air. is there anyone you wish you could perform with now? they're all dead, mate. sam cooke, otis redding, they're all dead. lady gaga, maybe. that would be fantastic, wouldn't it? 0bviously, you're going to be the star of the concert on saturday night. well, no, her majesty is the star of the concert. i sit corrected, absolutely. you're absolutely right. but penny, your wife, is also going to play a very, very important role on the night? yeah, she's a police constable patrolling from i think ten o'clock at night until six in the morning, doing herjob. and she loves it, bless her. what does she get out of it? i think the feeling of giving something back, which i know is an old cliche, but she once told me, she said, "i love looking after the city that i love". and she loves london and she wants to look after it. i phone her up and say, "did anything happen tonight?" "0h, we arrested a man in a car with some drugs, and we took him down the station." do you ever worry about her? no, she's six foot three, come on. she has to go down to the station then and fill in all the forms. then she don't get home till three, you know. and then it's your turn to make the breakfast and tea in bed? i do, actually, i do. don't laugh, i do. i don't need to do anything else. sir rod, it's been a joy. thank you for coming all this way. thank you so much. i love our royal family. i'm so proud of it. and may it reign for another hundred years. well said. sir rod stewart, it's been a pleasure. thank you. such a lovely chap. it was a real honour to be able to talk to sir rod stewart ahead of his performance later on saturday evening. of course, that will be staged just outside the palace. the stage is already. perhaps you are heading out to a bar or a restaurant this weekend. you will be in good company. thejubilee celebrations are expected to give the hospitality industry a huge boost. sarah's at a pub in lancashire for us this morning. so many people have taken the opportunity of the long bank holiday, the extra day, to get together, see family, perhaps spend some money, true to themselves? 0h, some money, true to themselves? oh, yeah. definitely. welcome aboard the ship which is in elswick, just outside of preston. as you can see, it is a bank holiday, soggy weather is not on our side. but we don't mind. we have a tent. we have huddled in. we are here for a right royal knees up. these are some of our gin and beer makers. there are two festivals this weekend. this is keith, dressed for the part! it's thought this bank holiday weekend will be worth around £2 billion in sales for pubs, bars and restaurants. that's a massive £400 million more than they'd usually expect to make in a normal thursday to sunday period at this time of year. loads of work has been going on behind the scenes to make sure everybody has a good time. i have been taking a look. right, let's put this behind the bar, yeah? it's ready, set, go, on a big bank holiday for the queen's platinum jubilee, with the hospitality industry hoping to make a royal mint from the celebrations. at this pub in london, there's extra staff, extra stock, and even extra drinks, in honour of her majesty. we are making the queen's tipple, which is a take on her favourite drink, which is the zaza. and you just load it up with ice, lemon, a shot of gin, double measure of dubonnet, which is a wine—based aperitif. there we go. and finish that off. and there we go, queen's tipple. are you hoping that the tills will be ringing this...? ring, ring, ring, that's all we can hope for! the more the merrier. so we're hoping that this is just the start of a great year to come. only this weekend will you see a corgi modelling with a coronation ricotta pizza. but you'll be lucky to get in here over the next few days. bookings for lunchtime have skyrocketed. i'm expecting partial carnage, but great carnage. i feel like it's going to be really festive, wholesome, one of those proud to be british kind of moments to have everyone together. almost 50,000 people, or the equivalent of four saturdays worth of footfall, are expected to grab a bite at this food market over the extended holiday. and those visitors get to crown a culinary king or queen, by voting for their favourite dish. and yes, there's another patriotic pizza. god save the queen. so this dish is our grandma slice, which is inspired by queen lizzie, the nation's grandma. you should come try it, because it's super crispy, nice and fluffy and extra cheese. and after all that food, perhaps something to wash it down with. pubs are expected to pull some 90 million pints over the four—day weekend. this is a specialjubilee ale. and that number of pints is expected to bring £105 million boost to the industry. but perhaps not this one. well, the queen is definitely outshining the prince at this pub in west brompton, who are royally invested in pulling in the punters. the weekend's been fantastic. you might notice behind us that we've got a big mural of queen elizabeth to celebrate her and her 70 years of service. for us, that has got us so much extra business. so, thank you very much, queen elizabeth. four days, it's like a friday and three saturdays all together. it's a great chance for the community to come out to celebrate with us, and together. and the prep is paying off already on day one of the bank holiday. although times are tough, many people seem ready for a party. it's such a good vibe. everyone's loving it. i a good excuse for a party. that's what i say. - thejubilee, i mean, everyone loves the queen, but everyone loves a beer, don't they? so, what can you do? i actually work shift work. so i do four on, four off. i so i'm used to the four off! long live the long weekend. everybody loves the queen and everybody loves a beer. wise words. i think there will be some really sore heads this morning. 0h, i think there will be some really sore heads this morning. oh, look at it. look out of the rain coming down. but don't worry, we have tent. i am sure they will be plenty of cover beer gardens. i can speak to steve wright, the event planner here, who has planned very well because you can hide us under this tent. i because you can hide us under this tent. ., , ,

up here at st paul's. live coverage on bbc one straight after breakfast. but now it's time to get the latest news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, this is bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. it's another busy day ofjubilee celebrations in the capital. this was trafalgar square yesterday, as people watched the trooping of the colour parade, as well as a flypast over buckingham palace. this morning, a service of thanksgiving will be held at st paul's cathedral. now, meet george vulkan. he's 92 years old, and back in 1953, he was involved in the queen's coronation as an auxilliary policeman after arriving in britain as a refugee. he says his involvement in that day made him proud to be british. 0urjob was to keep control of the crowds, so we were told to keep an eye open in case there were any troublesome people, or too much pressure. but we still had an opportunity, of course, as the queen passed, quickly to glance, to see what's going on. away from the jubilee, today marks five years since the london bridge terror attack that killed eight people and injured 48. a special service will be held later at southwark cathedral. pc wayne marks, who fought off all three attackers, armed with only his baton, recalls the moment he confronted them. i remember thinking, this guy's going to die if you don't do something, he's going to die if you don't do something. and, erm, i think that's when, i literally, i took my baton out and i took a deep breath and i charged. it was an act of absolute evil that will stay with me till the end of my time. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, 0nto the weather now with sara thornton. morning to you. the second of these bank holiday days off to a great start this morning. we've got less mist and fog than we had this time yesterday morning. a lot of sunshine out there, a little bit of a fresh feel in our suburbs, but we're dry through the day today. good spells of sunshine. later, a little bit more in the way of cloud coming through, it's true. but warmer than yesterday. temperatures could be as high as 23, maybe 24 degrees. start to see some changes overnight though. we've got more cloud pushing in, and there is some showery, thundery rain pushing into southern counties into tomorrow morning, some of which might just clip us overnight into the start of tomorrow. but really, the story is that through the weekend it's a much more unsettled picture, with an area of low pressure pushing into south. it's tracking its way northwards through saturday, into sunday. and it means for us the timings of any showers are a little bit difficultjust to exactly pin down. but there is a risk of picking up some showers later on saturday, and again for the start of things on sunday. and if you see them, they could be thundery. but there will be some sunshine as well. at times a mixed picture. and do stay in touch with us over the bank holiday. we'd love to see your photos or videos of yourjubilee celebrations. e—mail us using the address on the screen. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now though, it's back to naga and ben. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty at st paul's cathedral, and ben thompson in the studio. 0ur headlines today. the queen will miss today'sjubilee service at st paul's cathedral, after experiencing discomfort whilst watching yesterday's parade at buckingham palace. the queen was well enough to light the firstjubillee beacon, with 3,500 more lit across the uk. no queen today but that hasn't deterred the crowds. they are starting to build. some of these people had been out all night to make sure they get the best seat in the house. also this morning... president biden makes an impassioned call for stricter gun laws, after a string of mass shootings in the us. johnny depp appears on stage in gateshead, as his ex—wife amber heard prepares to appeal after losing a defamation trial. a new beginning for england's cricketers, but the same old problems. after the perfect start, another batting collapse leaves the first test against new zealand in the balance. pleasa ntly warm pleasantly warm when the sun comes out. a bit of a soggy start to friday. 0n. out. a bit of a soggy start to friday. on. the full weekend forecast coming up here on breakfast. it's friday, june the 3rd, and the platinum jubilee celebrations are well under way. we're here at st paul's cathedral, where a special service will be held later this morning, to give thanks to the queen for her 70—year reign. guests will begin to arrive around half past eight. around 400 are expected, comprising key workers, nhs workers, people who have contributed to public life. lord lieutenant from every county in the uk will be attending the service. the queen will not be here, as we have been telling you. a service will be conducted by the dean of st paul's. the prime minister will deliver a reading as well from the new testament. afterwards he would have heard the bells ring a few minutes ago here at st paul's. after the service, the bells will chime forfour the service, the bells will chime for four hours continuously. here's our royal correspondent, sarah campbell. fanfare plays. it was a day of celebration, and in the evening there was a final glowing tribute. buckingham palace had made it known that the queen had been in some discomfort during the day but, as planned, she laid her hand on the specially—created globe of nations, which triggered a light sequence leading to buckingham palace. there, the principal beacon, a 21—metre high sculpture of 350 trees, burst into light. watching on, the queen's grandson, prince william. more than 3,000 beacons across the uk and overseas were lit. the palace provided a backdrop for a spectacular display. earlier in the day, for the first time since 2019, trooping the colour, the queen's birthday parade was back in full. taking part in the procession, the three cambridge children — prince george, charlotte and louis. at horse guards, the months of rehearsals paid off in a flawless display of military precision. in the queen's absence, it was prince charles who inspected the troops. at the palace, the royal standard indicated the queen had arrived. and to the delight of the huge crowd on the mall, accompanied by the duke of kent, she appeared on the balcony. her movements have been restricted by health issues of late, so the household cavalry came to her. she, and the duke, took the salute. from the palace, the focus now shifts to here — st paul's cathedral for the national service of thanksgiving. the queen's faith has always been central to how she's lived her life. and among the pop concerts, the pomp and the pageantry of this long jubilee weekend, this is a chance to pause and reflect. accommodations had been made in the hope the queen would attend. a side entrance was to be used to avoid having to climb the steep steps. however, yesterday evening, a palace statement said the queen greatly enjoyed today's birthday parade and flypast, but did experience some discomfort. taking into account the journey and activity required, her majesty, with great reluctance, has concluded that she will not attend. the prince of wales will now represent the queen at her thanksgiving service. prince andrew, who's tested positive for covid, will not be there, but the rest of her family will be, including the duke and duchess of sussex, who were among the guests watching trooping the colour at horse guards. after the gun salutes, the queen returned for a second time to the palace balcony, this time with the working members of the royalfamily and their children. the tens of thousands of people, who'd packed into the mall, surged forward to get a better look. she chatted away with four—year—old prince louis, and beamed as 70 aircraft flew overhead. it was apparently a little loud for her great grandson. these images testament to the enduring popularity of a remarkable monarch. sarah campbell, bbc news. you will be unsurprised to see that lovely picture of prince louis with his hands over his is is on many of the front pages this morning. i think it captured the joy of the flypast. the times leads with a photo of the "beaming" monarch on the balcony of buckingham palace. the daily mail features picture of "scene—stealing" prince louis appearing to let out a yell in response to the volume of the fly past. the telegraph says it was a "glorious day" of celebrations, despite the discomfort of the young "prince of wails." and the daily express front page superimposes a picture of a delighted queen onto a shot of thousands of people gathered on the mall to mark the occasion. wow, what a racket, great granny! that's the headline in the mirror. we're joined now by our royal correspondent, daniela relph. those pictures, so lovely to see the queen smiling throughout the flypast. prince louis did steal the show a bit, flypast. prince louis did steal the showa bit, didn't flypast. prince louis did steal the show a bit, didn't he? flypast. prince louis did steal the

combination of the queen and prince louis together. a lovely, intimate family moment, seeing them on the balcony, had chatting to her great grandson, explaining what was going on in the flypast by telling him to look at. some great little intimate family moments, very much what this jubilee is about as well as pomp and ceremony. it also adds a little bit to the disappointment she is not going to be here today. we were hoping she would be at the heart of the service of thanksgiving for her reign. clearly an assessment was done as to how she was feeling. buckingham palace talked about the discomfort she was feeling. a lot have been done to make this as easy as possible for her today. it was felt like it was too much of a physical challenge, a test of endurance for her today. there was

iam holding right back with you in a few moments. i am holding the fort, running through the events of the next few days. president biden has made an impassioned plea for congress to impose stricter gun laws, following a string of mass shootings in the united states. speaking from the white house, mr biden proposed what he called "common—sense measures," including banning assault weapons, expanding background checks, and raising the age at which guns can be bought. he said that guns are now the number one killer of children in america. over the last two decades, more school—aged children have died from guns than on—duty police officers and active duty military combined. think about that. more kids than on—duty cops killed by guns. more kids than soldiers killed by guns. for god's sake. how much more carnage are we willing to accept? the actress amber heard is planning an appeal after losing a defamation trial against her ex—husband, johnny depp, over claims of domestic abuse. he's currently on tour in the uk with the guitaristjeff beck, and was cheered last night by the crowd at a show in gateshead. 0livia richwald was there. johnny depp might not have spoken publicly since the outcome of the libel trial against his ex—wife, but it doesn't mean he's been quiet. this was depp on stage at the sage in gateshead last night. he was playing alongside friend and guitaristjeff beck. and the pirates of the caribbean star received a noisy, and largely positive reception. out of this world. the hall... seriously, we can't describe what the atmosphere was like in there. it was totally, completely... stunning, stunning. i thought it was cool to see him so close, but he's not really got the best singing voice. i think we'd came forjeff. he added to it, i'll say that. jeff beck was just outstanding. good morning. johnny depp and his ex—wife, amber heard, had been locked in a high—profile libel trial in the us, after she claimed she was a domestic abuse victim. the jury sided with depp and, as news of the result came through, the actor was seen having a drink in a gateshead pub. fans started arriving in the early hours to catch a glimpse of him, but he was unusually bashful, deciding to sneak out of his hotel, unseen, in a van with darkened windows. but it didn't put fans off, some of whom waited for hours. how long are you prepared to wait? well, i've been waiting for, like, a couple hours now and prepared to wait for a week. i'll wait forever to see him. yeah. i'm waiting and hoping we'll catch him when he comes out. yeah. because that's going to be your best bet now, when he comes out. - you're actually going to wait till the end of the concert? absolutely. yeah. screaming. their patience was rewarded. and, after the end of the concert, he met fans at the stage door. about 24 hours longer. absolutely buzzing. first thing that he signed, i could honestly cry. because you have been waiting here for a long time, haven't you? i've been waiting since 9 o'clock last night. so i'm ready to go home and go to bed. and i am so happy. jeff beck and johnny depp, who've made an album together, will be back on stage in glasgow tonight. 0livia richwald, bbc news, gateshead. the thing you need to know now over the course of the weekend is what the course of the weekend is what the weather is going to do, particularly if you have outdoor plans over the next couple of days. here's matt with a look at the weather. yesterday was glorious and london looked spectacular but slightly different picture depending where you are in the country this weekend. london should fare quite well today around buckingham palace. this weekend, saturday and sunday get more complicated. in the southeast quys more complicated. in the southeast

much of north—west england into scotland and a few showers into northern ireland the isle of man. though the rain at times. it will start to brighten and the rain will ease off, becoming more showery. a few showers in the midlands, wales and the south of england later. many places staying dry. the far south—east and east anglia warm in the sunshine, to 22 to 24. brighter this afternoon in north—west england and north west wales. lots of sunshine in parts of scotland, central and western areas in particular. there will be cloud pushing into northern and eastern coast. that will track south across eastern coasts of england. there could be a disturbed night in some of south west england and wales where there could be thunderstorms. sunday, areas of england and wales can keep an eye

jubilee. he has been telling me all about it. once upon a time, there was a little girl. one day, they say, she planted a tree with her papa — an oak tree. quite soon, that tree was higher than she was. and quite soon after that, she discovered she was a princess. she didn't feel like a princess. she would go and sit on the grass under the branches of her oak tree and was always happy there. just being a girl, not a princess at all. princesses were in books. her life was going to be her own story. and that story is told by sir michael morpurgo in his book to mark thejubilee, a fairy tale titled there once is a queen. it follows the young princess as she grows up, gets married, learns in kenya that she's become queen and her coronation. it celebrates her seven decades as monarch. this woman has kept an extraordinary promise that she made when she was really very, very young, that she would serve the people. that was herjob. and it all sounded then, and people can be cynical about it and say, "well, she would say that, wouldn't she?" actually, she's done it. and that's what's truly remarkable. here's this woman of 96, still looking at her papers, still carrying out the duties that she promised she would carry out. and it's... yes, i'm sure it's for herfamily, but primarily it's for the people. and she feels that very deeply, her duty towards the people, towards the role that she has. he first met the queen as a young army cadet in india in 1961. but it was more than half a century later, and after she'd seen a production of sir michael's most celebrated story war horse, that she told him about her lifelong love of horses. the words she used now captured in the book. whenever she went to saddle her horse to go for a ride, she would reach up and lay her hand on his neck, which felt to her like warm velvet. she would talk to that horse, like she talked to no—one else. he was her best friend. well, the queen told me that when she had herfirst horse, she reached up. she was only about ten, i think, and put her hand on the neck of the horse and said it felt like warm velvet. and i'm doing it now. and it's just such a... she should have been a writer. forget the queen stuff. she should have been a writer. it's a wonderful, wonderful way of describing it, warm velvet. this is one of three farms for city children, set up by michael and his wife in 1976. as the name implies, children from urban areas visit to learn about farming, the land, and where their food comes from. i think one thing we forget is just how much the royal family, with the queen as its head, helped with charities. and princess anne is our patron, and she's worked with us now for, oh, i'd know, 30, a0 years helping us. and she supports us all the time, which is wonderful. and she also quite likes horses, as you know. the illustrations are by michael foreman, a long time collaborator, who shared the ambition to produce a book to celebrate the differing aspects of the queen's life and reign. we love doing it together because, in a sense, what we were doing was tracing our life from birth until now, through the life of this fairy queen. and we really enjoyed it. and his illustrations are just a joy. wonderful. i hope she liked them too. i shall ask her one day. the tree the princess plants in the story will be featured in the huge platinum pageant on sunday. from an acorn to a great oak, from a princess to a queen, it will celebrate 70 years of british life and 70 years of unwavering service. morning. we are talking to maud. can you hear us? do

to move over across the front of saint paul's as they trooped past us this morning with those amazing headdresses with that feathers and of course the ceremonial swords held on the left sides. various guests arriving today. i will tell you, there will be about 400 guests here today from all walks of life and those who have contributed to public life, consisting of nhs workers, teachers, key workers and every lord lieutenant from every county in the uk. the sun is shining on st paul's cathedral and i am sure it will continue to do so later. you saw the soldiers but you are also seeing the beefeaters coming past as well. the beefeaters, of course, as we have always seen them at the tower of london, making their way forward is part of the ceremony that is going to be happening later today. various members of the royal family will attend, the queen not in attendance because she is experiencing some discomfort this morning. it is all happening here at simples. we will keep you up—to—date with the latest. but now it's time to get the latest news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. it's another busy day ofjubilee celebrations in the capital. this was trafalgar square yesterday, as people watched the trooping the colour parade, as well as a flypast over buckingham palace. this morning, a service of thanksgiving will be held at st paul's cathedral. now, meet george vulkan. he's 92 years old, and back in 1953, he was involved in the queen's coronation as an auxiliary policeman, after arriving in britain as a refugee. he says his involvement in that day made him proud to be british. 0urjob was to keep control of the crowds, so we were told to keep an eye open in case there were any troublesome people, or too much pressure. but we still had an opportunity, of course, as the queen passed, quickly to glance, to see what's going on. away from the jubilee, today marks five years since the london bridge terror attack that killed eight people and injured 48. a special service will be held later at southwark cathedral. pc wayne marques, who fought off all three attackers armed with only his baton, recalls the moment he confronted them. i remember thinking, this guy's going to die if you don't do something, he's going to die if you don't do something. and, erm, i think that's when, i literally, i took my baton out and i took a deep breath and i charged. it was an act of absolute evil that will stay with me till the end of my time. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. onto the weather now with sara thornton. morning to you. the second of these bank holiday days off to a great start this morning. we've got less mist and fog than we had this time yesterday morning. a lot of sunshine out there, a little bit of a fresh feel in our suburbs, but we're dry through the day today. good spells of sunshine. later, a little bit more in the way of cloud coming through, it's true. but warmer than yesterday. temperatures could be as high as 23, maybe 24 degrees. start to see some changes overnight though. we've got more cloud pushing in, and there is some showery, thundery rain pushing into southern counties into tomorrow morning, some of which might just clip us overnight into the start of tomorrow. but really, the story is that through the weekend it's a much more unsettled picture, with an area of low pressure pushing into south. it's tracking its way northwards through saturday, into sunday. and it means for us the timings of any showers are a little bit difficultjust to exactly pin down. but there is a risk of picking up some showers later on saturday, and again for the start of things on sunday. and if you see them, they could be thundery. but there will be some sunshine as well. at times a mixed picture. and do stay in touch with us over the bank holiday — love to see your photos or videos of yourjubilee celebrations. email us, using the address on the screen i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. bye for now. welcome back. you're watching breakfast. we'll have

get i vast majority of people will get away, absolutely as planned. but there are some really key places where there are problems. and i'm sorry to lower the tone on this wonderful morning, but he has, let me tell you where they are. the biggest number of cancellations, london heathrow british airways. 124 london heathrow british airways. i24 short—haul, domestic and european flights cancelled today. that includes holiday flights to places like malaga and to faro. most people haven't kind of noticed because ba cancelled several weeks ahead, so you would have been certainly not going to turn up at the airport, i hope, and find out yourflight is not the airport, i hope, and find out your flight is not going anywhere. it is having a really strong effect on the prices though. for instance, fromhere two out of the three flights from oslo to london on british airways have been cancelled, and you can imagine the prices on the remaining flight are pretty high. overat the remaining flight are pretty high. over at gatwick, that is where i think we are seeing the biggest problems. so far 36 cancellations i am counting on easyjet. most of them were among the 240 cancellations that easyjet announced a week ago, to try to improve its operation. but unfortunately, they have been counselling at the very last minute. in the past hour people were supposed to be flying off to madrid, to milan, they found out two hours before the flight was going that it wasn't going, so they were out of the airport and they are now trying to sort themselves out. who can forget manchester airport and to eat? things are running relatively smoothly there. that is partly because 200 departures have been cancelled between now and the end of the month in order to keep the show on the road. the month in order to keep the show on the road-— on the road. mum and dad passing throuuh on the road. mum and dad passing through manchester _ on the road. mum and dad passing through manchester airport - on the road. mum and dad passing through manchester airport this i through manchester airport this morning telling me they are through, they are on their way. we heard yesterday from the gmb union. they say that actually, one where you might solve this is just take in hand luggage. i know that doesn't work for everybody but it could be one way to avoid any back problems at the other end?— at the other end? yes, it has many benefits for — at the other end? yes, it has many benefits for you _ at the other end? yes, it has many benefits for you as _ at the other end? yes, it has many benefits for you as a _ at the other end? yes, it has many benefits for you as a passenger. i at the other end? yes, it has many. benefits for you as a passenger. you don't have to queue up and check anything in. there is no chance of it being sent to los angeles when you are trying to go to lagos. and yes, you don't need to worry about waiting at the other end for your baggage, or indeed when you come back to the uk, which is where we see particular problems. if you can do that, it's great, as long as you remember the liquids and the sharps rules. otherwise, if your bag gets pulled from the security check, that sums everything up. and baggage only is the way to go. it will save you money. and microscopically limit the damage that you are doing to the planet as well. and a word on coming back. i know we are onlyjust getting into this long bank holiday weekend, but people will be thinking about what sort of situation they could face when they land back at the airport. any advice for people as far as getting back smoothly and, one would hope, with their baggage?— their baggage? well, if you are one ofthe their baggage? well, if you are one of the flights _ their baggage? well, if you are one of the flights which _ their baggage? well, if you are one of the flights which hasn't - their baggage? well, if you are one of the flights which hasn't been - of the flights which hasn't been cancelled, that will apply to the vast majority of people, it is simply a matter of hoping for the best about being prepared for delays and disruption as usual. the two sticking points are baggage handling, get the bags off the plane, and uk border force. and frankly, if you can get through, if your bags arrived within half an hour, if you can get through passport control within less than half an hour, i think you are doing pretty well. it's miserable at the end of the holiday to come back and be hanging around at the airport. but that, i think, if you have had a lovely time, will be the least of your problems. it is the people trying to get out today facing issues with cancelled flights that i think really deserve a lot of sympathy this morning. yeah, absolutely. thank you for that. i am sure we will speak again about this. enjoy your trip in oslo. simon calder. so, let's turn our attention to sport. it was supposed to be a new start for england and the cricket team, but things didn't quite go according to plan, i think thatis quite go according to plan, i think that is fair to say? yes, bright, sunny day at lord's. what could possibly go wrong? a new coach, new test captain, ben stokes, who made one run. it was the same old frailties with the bat. ingle will resume on 116 for seven this morning. —— england. whata will resume on 116 for seven this morning. —— england. what a day it was for matthew potts, taking four wickets at the home of cricket on his international debut, the same number as the returning jimmy anderson. he admits he had a tear in his eye before the match, that he has been feeding off the experience of anderson and stuart broad. they've been great to kind of have chats around boredom with. they've obviously got their own plans that they like to go with. butjust having those kind of guys around you, to ping a few ideas across just to keep you going. i mean, you look around and you've got nearly 1200 test wickets around there. it's great to pick the brains of them and it's been very, very beneficial for me on the training days as well, just to kind of watch how they go about their business and what they kind of look to do bowling at batsmen. so, yeah, it's been very good to be able to pick the brains of them. in paris they are reaching the business end of the french open. the american teenager coco gauff will play world number one iga swiatek in the women's singles final at the french open. gauff beat martina trevisan of italy in straight sets, to reach her first grand slam final. it's three years since she knocked venus williams out of wimbledon as a 15—year—old. after the match she wrote, "peace — end gun violence" on the camera, following last week's school shooting in texas. but can she stop the world number one iga swiatek? she is in incredible form at the moment, and saw off daria kasatkina in straight sets in her semi—final. it took barely more than an hour. the polish player is unbeaten in 34 matches, as she looks to win her second singles title at roland garros. andy murray's preparations for wimbledon are going well, he's into the quarter—finals of the surbiton open. the three—time grand slam champion beat gijs brouwer, the world number 230 from the netherlands, via two tie—breaks. murray is the top seed for the tournament, and faces the numberfive seed brandon nakashima in the last eight. northern ireland's struggles continue in the nations league, after they were beaten i—0 at home by greece. in a game of few chances, the only goal came in the first half through tasos ba kasettas. northern ireland are yet to win a nations league match, in a run that's spanned 11 matches. they're away to cyprus on sunday. and two scottish referees have become the first to come out publicly as gay. craig napier and lloyd wilson are the first openly gay men in scottish professional football sincejustin fashanu played for airdrie and hearts in the 905. they follow footballers josh cavallo and jake daniels in coming out. it's something that i've obviously lived with for a long time. it's been a difficultjourney to get to this point. but over the last couple of years, it's become a lot easier. and i think it's really important that people like me are willing to sit here and do this. i don't think this needs to be a news story, but i think at the moment it really does, because we need to see the climate change so that people do feel that they can be their true self and live happily and comfortable in their own skin. and that leads to then transcending into football. craig napier there. interesting hearing about him talking about jake daniels, the blackpool player, 17 years old. this younger generation of players creating this safe space. officials of all ages feeling a bit more comfortable to come out as well. that visibility is so important. thank you. just approaching quarter to eight. let's check on the weather for the rest of the weekend. matt has all the details. good morning. who wants to go away when you have got skies like this? a beautiful scene in devon. good morning. you probably have a different view of things if you are in parts of northern england, parts of wales and northern ireland. this is the view in bradford. grey and especially damp. we do have some cloud. rain at times this weekend. this could bring us a few problems across southern areas as we go through saturday and sunday. the cloud further north, here it is. a 5°99y cloud further north, here it is. a soggy start to friday, dumfries and galloway, north—west england, north west wales. a few showers in northern england and the isle of man. that will be sitting through the same areas today. the cloud will be thinning. we will see more brightness. there will be lighter rain showers in the afternoon. a few showers through wales, the midlands later. elsewhere, a day. the west of scotland, 20 degrees. cooler down eastern coast. we could see low cloud on the shore later and a developing breeze. tonight we start to see cloud from france pushed its way northwards. they could be heavy, thundery downpours in southern counties of england and parts of south wales. a humid night. further north, a good dealfresher. temperatures into single figures. high pressure takes us into the start of the weekend, keeping things dry. that area of cloud will be moving its way northwards. it looks like it will be fairly fragmented. hit and miss showers through the morning and parts of southern england and wales. focus is towards the south—west. sunshine will become more abundant letter. away from these areas, saturday not a bad day if you have outdoor plants. plenty of dry weather, breast of the sunshine in western scotland. cooler down the western coast of bingen. as we go into saturday night, the next batch of storms could be working their way from france. this could give us a few more issues as we go into sunday. working their way northwards across the country. timings will be crucial. this far ahead, with the showers and thunderstorms, always difficult. one batch pushing northwards, which means things could turn a bit drier for a time for the pageant in the south—east. it looks like the further north you are, plus northern ireland and scotland especially, you could get through saturday and sunday staying largely dry and fairly sunny. the best of the conditions in western scotland. cooler in england and wales. if cloud breaks towards the south and east it will feel quite humid. lots to play for. thank you. we will keep a close eye on those rain clouds. there is no chance we want any that do disrupt celebrations. still somewhat in store over the course of the weekend. naga has all the details about what we might expect, including that a thanksgiving service at st paul's cathedral. good morning. good morning, ben. preparation is well under way for what is happening today. just behind me david dimbleby, who is going to be leading the coverage straight after breakfast at quarter past nine with kirsty young. he has been preparing. he is going through to rehearsals. we have seen the police finish their final security sweeps of st paul's cathedral as well. we have got a thanksgiving service that is going to have about 400 people, who have contributed to public life, who have contributed to public life, who will be attending. that special service of thanksgiving here at st paul's cathedral. that will mark the queen's 70 year reign. tomorrow night, of course, there will be an open—air concert at buckingham palace, with performances from the likes of diana ross, duranlay over the weekend. we are expecting them to attend this service today. let's talk about this with the journalist omid scobie, who's written a book about the sussexes. hello. good morning. your book at such an impact _ hello. good morning. your book at such an impact here. _ hello. good morning. your book at such an impact here. it _ hello. good morning. your book

the united states. they are back to what end? there has been a lot of speculation about whether they would overshadow the celebrations. what do you know in terms of their attitudes and how they are viewing their visit now? before they arrived i think there was so much press talk about the couple potentially overshadowing the queen itself, which i think is a most impossible for anyone to do. that was certainly the discussion amo

diana ross will lead concert and duran duran, 4-day celebration.lines to ramp up pilot hiring over the next few years. every nine months pilots visit center to remain up to date on certification. there could be as many as 601 pilots training at this facility at any time. that's pretty heavy. united airlines stock up right now 1% in the premarket. they have been canceling a lot of flights recently. then there's this top gun maverick smashing top records but movie goers in china may not see and the ccp may not see it because the producers produced they weak flag. the first sequel in flags were removed. well, when the blockbuster was finally released last week the taiwanese flag restored. i have to say, maria, i'm really glad to see the studios finally standing up to china after all of this. maria: me too. totally agree with you, cheryl. good for paramount. push back on china. they don't want to run the film, fine, you have the taiwan flag on cruise's jacket, cheryl, thank you. president biden claiming yesterday that he didn't know about the baby form

duran duran and — straight out of eurovision — sam ryder. the weekend's finale is sunday afternoon's platinumjubilee pageant, led by the gold state carriage. starting at whitehall, it will process up the mall to buckingham palace. can you imagine how much planning has gone into this and there are so much events going on, there are other beacons later being lit and i know someone who knows what is

a heart filled with love. a performance fit for a queen. this choirfrom northumberland has been rehearsing the platinum jubilee song for weeks now. it will be sung by choirs in all 54 commonwealth countries as beacons are [it to honour the queen. it's hopefully going to be a spine tingling experience, singing outside is really something special and to be up on hadrian's wall with the backdrop, hopefully if we get a good night, it's going to be magic. it'sjust a lovely thing to be part of. it's such a momentous occasion, really, being there when the beacons are going to be [it is wonderful. it's an opportunity after a reallyl challenging few years for people and communities to get together and actullv enjoy— spending time together. i've just been to my child's school the other day and they had a big jubilee picnic, and again, ifeel for them, it really is part of history. # peace on earth and harmony. the choir will be singing at the dramatic location of corfields quarry on hadrian's wall as beacons are [it along the length of the roman structure which once stretched the width of the country. it just feels particularly appropriate in this year of all years, the 1900th anniversary of the wall, that northumberland plays its part in the rule of our times and most of us cannot remember a ruler before queen elizabeth ii. the singers are among a number of performers taking part in tonight's spectacular event which is going to climax with an archer stood on this mound of firing a flaming arrow into a floating bonfire beacon on the water below. # celebrate good times, come on. to add a modern twist to the celebrations, this group of young dancers from morpeth will be performing a flash mob style dance. all of a sudden, out of nowhere, breaks this party atmosphere, and i think we do need to celebrate. we've had a rubbish couple of years and ijust hope that we can get this feeling of celebration and excitement across into the audience. # let's all celebrate and have a good time. yeah, i think it's going to be really cool, because i've never danced outside before. # we're going to celebrate and have a good time. we have been learning about it at | school and i think she is like one| of the longest reigning monarchs. it's going to be nervous, but i know it's going to be so good. # celebrate good times, come on. # it's a celebration... lam

this case we have as many beacons in the communities and towns and villages, with individuals as we have on the wall and that's a reflection of people wanting to celebrate and directly say thank you to the queen for all of the service she has provided over that time. thank you, john and well done for organising and i hope it goes well. we saw them having a go at each other early on. here is the

another sweep in the studio, and he is gorgeous and will be with me for a while while we are at buckingham palace bringing you up—to—date with the jubilee palace bringing you up—to—date with thejubilee celebrations. but now it's time to get the latest news where you are. a very good morning to you. this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. union leaders are calling for urgent talks with london's mayor sadiq khan to try to avoid a 24—hour tube strike due to go ahead on monday. members of the rmt union are set to walk out overjob cuts and changes to pensions. transport for london's is urging them to call off the strike. it's warned disruption — if it goes ahead — could continue into tuesday morning. four days of celebrations begin across the capital today to mark the queen's platinumjubilee. key workers, volunteers and young people are among hundreds of performers preparing to take part in sunday's pageant on the mall. they've been rehearsing a thank you dance to show the world london's talent and rich culture. there's just something quite exciting about the world looking at britain and going, "0h, is that what britain looks like?" they might have one idea, you know? and this is really going to open a lot of people's eyes. staying with thejubilee — the queen's birthday honours list has been published. rebecca mistry from windsor has been recognised for creating a dedicated baby bank service — providing things like food, nappies and formula during the pandemic. so far, she's helped more than 8,000 people. i think when i got the letter i was still a bit like, "what's this for?" i do say that it isn't just my award, it's for the entire team at the baby bank. i didn't do this by myself. this is very much "it takes a village to raise a child." and you may recognise a new royal couple in albert square tonight! in a special episode of eastenders, the duke and duchess of cornwall are making a special appearance in the soap. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. on to the weather now with sara thornton. good morning. we are off to a great start this morning across london and the south—east. one or two mist and fog patches here and there, cool in the suburbs but dry with good spells of sunshine and today and tomorrow, calmer days than we've seen recently and we generally stay dry right the way through the day with a bit of fairweather cloud here and there and temperatures into the low 20s celsius. warmer than we have seen. 22, 72 in fahrenheit. overnight we are dry, clear and calm and cool again in some of the suburbs into tomorrow morning and perhaps the odd mist patch, but tomorrow will be another dry and settled day for you. however, it is not so straightforward for the full way through thisjubilee bank holiday weekend because on saturday into sunday we will see an area of low pressure pushing in from the south and that will bring us an increased risk of seeing some showers coming through, especially through the second half of saturday and it looks like the first part of sunday. they are scattered, but if you catch a shower, it could be heavy and thundery. i'm back in half an hour. now though it's back to naga at buckingham palace and ben in the studio. enjoy your bank holiday! good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty here at buckingham palace, and ben thompson in the studio. our headlines today... "look to the future with confidence and enthusiam." that's the queen's message to the nation at the start of her platinum jubilee. we are live at wellington barracks as final preparations are made for today's celebration of the queen'sbirthday, trooping the colour. actor damien lewis and presenter claire balding are amongst those recognised in the queen'sjubilee honours list. also this morning... the hollywood actorjonny depp wins his libel case against his ex—wife, amber heard. about two million people are expected to fly out from uk airports over the next few days. travellers have faced queues and cancellations as travel businesses and ministers hold a crunch meeting over recent problems. i'll have the latest. scotland's world cup dream is over. they lose their play—off semi—final to ukraine, who now face wales on sunday for the right to play in qatar. a beautiful start to the jubilee weekend at the moment. there will be sunshine and warmth to be had over the next few days. good to have a wet weather plan just in case. the full details right here on breakfast. it's thursday, the 2nd ofjune. good morning and welcome to buckingham palace. the four—dayjubilee bank holiday is finally here, and we'll be looking ahead to the full series of events to mark the queen's 70 years on the throne. you can see this view now. buckingham palace bathed in sunshine. the queen victoria memorial behind us. lots of stands, the blue seats are all around, and they will be filled with people today who will be watching the parade, the platinum party at the palace, which begins at ten o'clock this morning. and of course the stage is set for that this is where all the acts will be performing as well. i want to show you something rather special, a sculpture is the best way to describe it. the tree of trees. there are 350 plant pots, all holding a tree. all of those trees, thatis holding a tree. all of those trees, that is 21 metres tall that sculpture. all those trees will be presented to every lord lieutenant in the uk and they will be planted later this year to mark the queen's70 years on the throne. today is the trooping the colour to mark the queen'sofficial birthday. on the balcony we will at some point see the queen today to receive a salute from trooping the colour the guardsman. the mall is draped in union flags, all along. at the mall union flags, all along. at the mail this morning, lots of people are gathering. the crowds are getting bigger and bigger. when i arrived here at a quarter to five this morning, this gentleman was there early on, bedecked in his union flag suit. ben is in the studio and chetan is reporting on the sport stop. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports now on what we can expect over the next four days. the rehearsals have been taking place for weeks. after a three—year gap caused by covid, trooping the colour is back on horse guards parade with a very special task. the queen's guards, the household cavalry and the foot guards will launch the platinum jubilee with what they hope will be a flawless parade. in my eyes, yeah, the public will be out after covid. everyone wants to see the birthday parade because it's so special. and for me, it's a great honour and a great privilege as a regimental sergeant major to be on the birthday parade this year. normally, the queen would review the troops on the parade ground. that won't happen this year. but she is expected to appear on the balcony of buckingham palace after the parade to take the salute and watch a flypast by the raf. and what of the sussexes — harry and meghan? they've arrived from california, but unlike four years ago, they won't be in the procession of carriages from the palace to horse guards, but they will watch with other members of the family from a building overlooking the parade ground. the duke of york will not be there at all. from the queen, pictured in this new photograph issued by the palace, a jubilee message. "i continue to be inspired by the goodwill shown to me," there is enthusiasm aplenty along the mall, where the most committed royalfans have been camping out for several days. not everyone is a fan of royalty. that is indisputable. but over the next four days, one person's dedication will be the focus of a nation's thanks. and those tributes will begin this morning with military precision. and with trooping the colour back here on horse guards in all its glory, thejubilee celebrations will be underway. in the capital, the tributes to the queen will continue with a service of thanksgiving, a party at the palace and a pageant. and the underlying sentiments of those tributes will be reflected in many communities around the country. nicholas witchell, bbc news. that is what is going to be happening. what about today? what will we see? our royal correspondent daniela relph is here with me. we are so lucky to have this weather. the balcony, i said we will see the queen at some point today. the balcony will be the focal point of events today. it is a military celebration with trooping the colour. the queen is 96, not so good at moving around. instead of the queen going to trooping the colour, trooping the colour will be coming to the queen today. she would normally be down on horse guards parade taking the salute but that will be done by prince charles, princess anne and prince william instead. when that is finished, the troops will come up the mall, instead. when that is finished, the troops will come up the mail, the queen will come onto the balcony with the duke of kent. she will take the salute. she will come back out again with other members of her family for theirflypast again with other members of her family for their flypast around one o'clock. i family for their

ben, back to you in the studio. fascinating quite how much work and preparation has gone into the events at the next few days. really interesting to hear that chat. let's bring you up—to—date with some of the other stories today. johnny depp has won his libel case against his ex—wife, amber heard, after she claimed in an article that she was a victim of domestic abuse. the hollywood actor has been awarded more than $10 million in damages, whilst ms heard was awarded $2 million for winning part of her libel case. david sillito reports. all right, mrforeperson, is this the verdict of the jury? after six weeks in court, and six years of angry accusations after their divorce, the court, and millions across the world, watched the jury's judgment on amber heard's declaration that she had suffered domestic violence at the hands ofjohnny depp. was this defamation? thejury said... yes. outside, the fans cheered. johnny depp's lawyers emerged to a hero's welcome. hi, everyone. today's verdict confirms what we have said from the beginning, that the claims againstjohnny depp are defamatory and unsupported by any evidence. amber heard's case had video. photographs and hours of emotional testimony. slapped me across the face. and he slapped me again. he just kicked me. however, public opinion was throughout the trial firmly behind johnny depp's claim that he was the real victim here. ms heard, in herfrustration and in her rage and her anger, she would strike out. suddenly. and i said, "go ahead, hit me." bam! so two completely different accounts of a marriage, and one in whichjohnny depp says he was the victim. and that's what the jury has agreed with today. and not only that, they've accepted that amber heard acted with malice, with a reckless disregard for the truth. and remember, amber heard's account of her marriage was in a uk libel trial two years ago, judged to be substantially true. and yet, from the beginning, she was facing a torrent of abuse. i receive hundreds of death threats, regularly, if not daily. campaigners for those who have endured domestic violence are worried. what we're concerned about in this instance is the chilling effect that the media coverage will have on survivors who need to come forward. and so, ultimately, that can be a very damaging thing. victims are watching this and they are thinking about, "how will i be treated if i come forward?" amber heard says she's heartbroken. she did win part of a libel case, over an allegation of carrying out a hoax, but forjohnny depp's team celebrations. in a statement, he said he had his life back. the long, legal battle is finally over. david sillito, bbc news, fairfax, virginia. as thejubilee bank holiday weekend gets underway, another two million of us are expected

on in them. lots more on that later on in the programme- — but now it's time to get the latest news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning to you. this is bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley union leaders are calling for urgent talks with londons mayor sadiq khan to try to avoid a 24—hour tube strike due to go ahead on monday. members of the rmt union are set to walk out overjob cuts and changes to pensions. transport for london's is urging them to call off the strike. it's warned disruption, if it goes ahead, could continue into tuesday morning. four days of celebrations begin across the capital today to mark the queen's platinum jubilee. key workers, volunteers and young people are among hundreds of performers preparing to take part in sunday's pageant on the mall. they've been rehearsing a thank you dance to show the world london's talent and rich culture. there's just something quite exciting about the world looking at britain and going, "0h, is that what britain looks like?" they might have one idea, you know? and this is really going to open a lot of people's eyes. and do stay in touch with us over the bank holiday. we'd love to see your photos or videos of yourjubilee celebrations. email us using the address on the screen hellobbclondon@bbc. co. uk staying with thejubilee, the queen's birthday honours list has been published. rebecca mistry from windsor has been recognised for creating a dedicated baby bank sevice — providing things like food, nappies and formula during the pandemic. so far she's helped more than 8,000 people i think when i got the letter i was still a bit like, "what's this for?" i do say that it isn't just my award, it's for the entire team at the baby bank. i didn't do this by myself. this is very much "it takes a village to raise a child." well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning. this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's just minor delays on the northern line. onto the weather now with sara thornton good morning. we are off to a great start this morning across london and the south—east. one or two mist and fog patches here and there, cool in the suburbs but dry with good spells of sunshine and today and tomorrow, calmer days than we've seen recently and we generally stay dry right the way through the day with a bit of fairweather cloud here and there and temperatures into the low 20s celsius. warmer than we have seen. 22, 72 in fahrenheit. overnight we are dry, clear and calm and cool again in some of the suburbs into tomorrow morning and perhaps the odd mist patch, but tomorrow will be another dry and settled day for you. however, it is not so straightforward for the full way through thisjubilee bank holiday weekend because on saturday into sunday we will see an area of low pressure pushing in from the south and that will bring us an increased risk of seeing some showers coming through, especially through the second half of saturday and it looks like the first part of sunday. they are scattered, but if you catch a shower, it could be heavy and thundery. that's it from me. i'm back in an hour. now though its back to naga at buckingham palace and ben in the studio. enjoy your bank holiday! welcome back, there's more from naga at buckingham palace coming up but first, we canjoin chetan who is at hampden park with all the sport for us

wales on sunday and whoever wins that will be in england's group at the world cup in qatar later this year and ukraine made a really fast start and we will show you some of the match now because they should have been out of sight in the first half hour. craig gordon making several fine saves. ukraine went 2—0 up with goals from andriy yarmolenko and roman yaremchuk. the scots pulled one back

anything outside. it's not all bad though, is it? not by any stretch of the imagination, but some of you will have to have the wet weather plans in hand as you go through the weekend at various points but not this morning, look at this, a glorious start for many, blue skies overhead and this was a leicestershire and sunshine in glasgow and buckingham palace and some mist and fog patches, some in shropshire at the moment and some dense fog patches in eastern england but for most of you today it will be a dry day with sunny spells and showers will develop later and certainly in northern ireland some of the wetter weather will come through the day. let's look at the details because the wetter weather in northern ireland will probably be the only rain you see this weekend from this weather system which is pushing south and east and will bring more cloud and outbreaks of rain in the west through the day and away from that, blue skies and we see the cloud bubbling up and there will be some showers developing and mainly north wales into northern scotland where they could be slow—moving and thundery but by and large very few showers and most will stay dry with sunny spells and pleasantly warm in the sunshine, up to 18 in glasgow and 22 towards the south—east but it means with the grass pollen levels starting to get into gear a could be a difficult day for hay fever sufferers in england and wales. overnight, showers to begin with and those will fade but rain in northern ireland will push east, developing across south—west scotland and northern england and west wales as we go into tomorrow and dry conditions elsewhere, clearer skies and coolest conditions across east anglia and down in team in single figures as we start friday. before friday, we have cloud and outbreaks of rain to begin with, isolated showers in northern ireland as well and there will be dry weather to be had in these areas and across southern parts and eastern parts of england and a good part of scotland and it will stay dry throughout the day with temperatures lifting up in western scotland but warmest in south—east england, 22 or 23 degrees. there are a few issues going into the weekend with a forecast that the area of low pressure will throw up some weather fronts and a lovely weekend to come on saturday and sunday and much of england and wales will be dry in eastern england and a cool breeze developing in southernmost counties and it's here in the english channel we could see heavy and thundery showers developing, even nudging into south wales and thundery showers on saturday into sunday working their way further north, and lots of low cloud and a cool easterly breeze, so breezy day on sunday with a chance of thundery downpours but there will be dry and brighter moments but scotland and northern ireland enjoying the best weather on sunday and the warmest conditions in western scotland at around 22 degrees so there will be some wet weather plans are required but a lot of dry weather as well. i will keep our eyes on the high numbers, the reds and oranges. irate numbers, the reds and oranges. we will numbers, the reds and oranges. , will keep an

overthere, right behind me. how are you? that tree is over there, right there, and when i first saw it i thought it was a real tree but it's actually a sculpture with all the plant pots in it. these

welcome to wellington barracks and i am around 300 metres away from you at buckingham palace, iwould around 300 metres away from you at buckingham palace, i would guess and have a look, and the preparations have a look, and the preparations have been going on for months but the irish guards band are tuning up behind us and as you would have seen earlier if you were with us, the king's troop royal horse artillery and you can see they are moving some of the bridal zantac into place and some of the what is interesting is that soldiers are not trying to put any thumbprints on because they have been cleaning and scrubbing and polishing to make sure everything is pristine today and it will be the first trooping the colour, the first celebration of the queen's birthday on horse guards parade for a couple of years and is always promises to be spectacular. music military precision doesn't happen overnight. every parade takes planning, practice and more practice. and this man, the garrison sergeant major, is the brains behind in the bands and the marching boots. it's nice to be back on horse guards parade and seeing members of the public again and we are looking forward to a full house in the turnover in the army is quick and it means the majority of those soldiers you see on parade playing instruments and marching or riding horses haven't done it before, so there's been a lot of corporate knowledge which has been lost over the years and that is where i come in. i am the years and that is where i come in. lam here the years and that is where i come in. i am here for a long time and i hold a lot of that corporate knowledge, so it's been an uphill struggle but it is achievable, but the difficulty is getting it to the right standard at the right time because what we

starting to build and preparations. there is one of the gun carriages that will be towed along by the king's troop today stopped so much and brass and noise and they are about to form on the parade square at wellington barracks and you might even be able to hear them from where you are sitting this morning. as i say, a spectacle. the likes of which you rarely see and over the next few days there will be so many of these events and everybody keeps saying that nobody quite does this like the british. you are absolutely right. it's a privilege for us all to be here. and when it comes to coordination, isn't it the tapping the head, rubbing the tummy, that kind of thing. he will be practising. we are here at glorious buckingham palace where the events will be taking place later today and we will keep you up—to—date with all of that. stay with us, headlines coming up. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty here at buckingham palace, and ben thompson in the studio.

series of events to mark the queen's 70 years on the throne. let mejust let me just take you through how it has been this morning. the blue seats behind me will be filled with people as they come in to watch the queen, the platinum party at the palace which begins at ten o'clock. you can probably hear the helicopter security hovering over the palace. the queen will appear at some point in the royal box, just behind me on the stage. you can see what we are seeing over the mall, people are being lined up for that you can see the flags lining the mall. as you saw in the headlines, people have been gathering as well. police lining the pavements. everyone making sure everything is in place. you can see the tree of trees behind me. this is a sculpture with 350 trees. 350 trees will be planted, handed to the lord lieutenants in the uk and they will be planted all around the uk. of course we are waiting for the trooping the colour to mark the queen's official birthday. so much going on, that is just today. what can you expect over the next four days? our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports now. the rehearsals have been taking place for weeks. after a three—year gap caused by covid, trooping the colour is back on horse guards parade with a very special task. the queen's guards, the household cavalry and the foot guards will launch the platinum jubilee with what they hope will be a flawless parade. in my eyes, yeah, the public will be out after covid. everyone wants to see the birthday parade because it's so special. and for me, it's a great honour and a great privilege as a regimental sergeant major to be on the birthday parade this year. normally, the queen would review the troops on the parade ground. that won't happen this year. but she is expected to appear on the balcony of buckingham palace after the parade to take the salute and watch a flypast by the raf. and what of the sussexes — harry and meghan? they've arrived from california, but unlike four years ago, they won't be in the procession of carriages from the palace to horse guards, but they will watch with other members of the family from a building overlooking the parade ground. the duke of york will not be there at all. from the queen, pictured in this new photograph issued by the palace, a jubilee message. there is enthusiasm aplenty along the mall, where the most committed royalfans have been camping out for several days. not everyone is a fan of royalty. that is indisputable. but over the next four days, one person's dedication will be the focus of a nation's thanks. and those tributes will begin this morning with military precision. and with trooping the colour back here on horse guards in all its glory, thejubilee celebrations will be underway. in the capital, the tributes to the queen will continue with a service of thanksgiving, a party at the palace and a pageant. and the underlying sentiments of those tributes will be reflected in many communities around the country. nicholas witchell, bbc news. our royal correspondent daniela relph is here with me. we were just looking round and he were pointing out what is happening. the

been awarded more than $10 million in damages, whilst ms heard was awarded $2 million for winning part of her libel case. david sillito reports. all right, mrforeperson, is this the verdict of the jury? after six weeks in court, and six years of angry accusations after their divorce, the court, and millions across the world, watched the jury's judgment on amber heard's declaration that she had suffered domestic violence at the hands ofjohnny depp. was this defamation? thejury said... yes. outside, the fans cheered. johnny depp's lawyers emerged to a hero's welcome. hi, everyone. today's verdict confirms what we have said from the beginning, that the claims againstjohnny depp are defamatory and unsupported by any evidence. amber heard's case had video. photographs and hours of emotional testimony. slapped me across the face. and he slapped me again. he just kicked me. however, public opinion was throughout the trial firmly behind johnny depp's claim that he was the real victim here. ms heard, in herfrustration and in her rage and her anger, she would strike out. suddenly. and i said, "go ahead, hit me." bam! so two completely different accounts of a marriage, and one in whichjohnny depp says he was the victim. and that's what the jury has agreed with today. and not only that, they've accepted that amber heard acted with malice, with a reckless disregard for the truth. and remember, amber heard's account of her marriage was in a uk libel trial two years ago, judged to be substantially true. and yet, from the beginning, she was facing a torrent of abuse. i receive hundreds of death threats, regularly, if not daily. campaigners for those who have endured domestic violence are worried. what we're concerned about in this instance is the chilling effect that the media coverage will have on survivors who need to come forward. and so, ultimately, that can be a very damaging thing. victims are watching this and they are thinking about, "how will i be treated if i come forward?" amber heard says she's heartbroken. she did win part of a libel case, over an allegation of carrying out a hoax, but forjohnny depp's team celebrations. in a statement, he said he had his life back. the long, legal battle is finally over. david sillito, bbc news, fairfax, virginia. as thejubilee bank holiday weekend gets underway, another two million of us are expected

there's just something quite exciting about the world looking at britain and going, "oh, is that what britain looks like?" they might have one idea, you know? and this is really going to open a lot of people's eyes. and you may recognise a new royal couple in albert square tonight! in a special episode of eastenders, the duke and duchess of cornwall are making a special appearance in the soap. you can catch it tonight on bbc1 at 7.30 there's a good service all round. onto the weather now with sara thornton. good morning. we are off to a great start this morning across london and the south—east. one or two mist and fog patches here and there, cool in the suburbs but dry with good spells of sunshine and today and tomorrow, calmer days than we've seen recently and we generally stay dry right the way through the day with a bit of fairweather cloud here and there and temperatures into the low 20s celsius. warmer than we have seen. 22, 72 in fahrenheit. overnight we are dry, clear and calm and cool again in some of the suburbs into tomorrow morning and perhaps the odd mist patch, but tomorrow will be another dry and settled day for you. however, it is not so straightforward for the full way through thisjubilee bank holiday weekend because on saturday into sunday we will see an area of low pressure pushing in from the south and that will bring us an increased risk of seeing some showers coming through, especially through the second half of saturday and it looks like the first part of sunday. they are scattered, but if you catch a shower, it could be heavy and thundery. that's it from me. i'm backjust after 9. now though its back to naga at buckingham palace and ben in the studio. enjoy your bank holiday! welcome back, there's more from naga at buckingham palace coming up but first we canjoin chetan who is at hampden park with all the sport for us this morning, and chetan, it was a remarkable win for ukraine there last night. mixed fortunes, victory for ukraine but a difficult night for scotland. it was. huge disappointment for scotland in the end, a sixth consecutive world cup finals that they won't be going to after being beaten by ukraine at hampden park by 3-1. beaten by ukraine at hampden park by 3—1. there was a lot of emotion before the match and we were talking about zinchenko, the manchester city's player tears in his press conference, but there were steely eyed focus from the ukraine players on the pitch and they put in an outstanding performance to get the 3-1 outstanding performance to get the 3—1 win that sets up a play—off final against wales with craig gordon making several good saves as ukraine would have been out of sight. the scots pulled one back through callum mcgregor before artem dovbyk completed a 3—1win for ukraine deep into injury time. wales away on sunday and a winner takes all match and they will be alongside england in the group with the usa and iran and i'm joined alongside england in the group with the usa and

well bubble up in north wales and england and scotland a chance of thundery showers and wet conditions in northern ireland to the west and it means it will be coolest between 15 degrees and in the west of scotland, 20 up to 22 across some parts of england and wales but the sunshine and the warmth will mean pollen levels on the rise, moderate or high level pollen. this evening and overnight and it will turn wetter in the north—west of wales. and away from that and a bit more cloud tonight. and east anglia and the south—east could see temperatures in rural areas down into single figures but with sunshine to begin with, more cloud through northern england and wales with outbreaks of rain and lighter and patchy through the day and showers developing in the afternoon but a good part of scotland in eastern and southern england which will stay dry and sunny and pleasantly warm. 22 or 23 in the south—east and may be 17 up to 19 ins scotland warmer day in northern ireland. high pressure for northern ireland. high pressure for northern ireland into the weekend so here it is set fair bit for england and wales we will see whether france push north out of france and on only limited inroads with the channel islands and may be south wales who could catch a few showers on the odd heavy one rumble of thunder but a bit of brightness and sunshine in between. low cloud pushing into eastern england but come to the west, pleasant indeed and it could get to 21 or 22 in western scotland. dry through saturday night and thundery showers pushing north across southern england and wales

great for all of the people gathering now and it's been brilliant. we got here about quarter to five and it was deathly quiet, really serene, and you could see a bit of a buzz building through the morning and now what you can see, or what i can see, is people filling up the stands, all of the stands were empty, completely empty behind me first thing this morning and there were even people in the royal enclosure where there are some red carpets covered, but people are filling up, and the stands to the right of me and to the left as well, and i know that the parks are beginning to fill up with people and you can see the view overhead and its magnificent with buckingham palace bathed in sunshine and i was talking to the former press secretary to the queen, and it's just over here, can you see the balcony? he was talking about the heraldry being put out and how they prepare the balcony and you can see the heraldry, the red and gold being laid out and that is where we will see the royal family and the queen surrounded by working members of the royal family later today. the official events start later this morning with the trooping the colour ceremony, which traditionally marks the queen's birthday. then, after a parade down the mall to horse guard's parade, the royal family will appear on the buckingham palace balcony. tomorrow, a special service of thanksgiving for the queen's reign will be held at st paul's cathedral. and then back here at buckingham palace, there'll be an open—air concert on saturday night, with performances from the likes of diana ross, durant
