well, i don't know the 5, why can i pick graham graham hang on guys to graham's point. i mean, it's happened before. i mean, it's not like this isn't ever happened before. and again, i mean there's so many people that want to talk about this issue to protect themselves, their reputations, because they talk like they were scientists, when they weren't fine, because they found themselves to be complete fools. and that it's politicized here . i mean, all the, all 4 of us plus our audience at this point we just like, can we find out what happened? so we doesn't happen again, but you'd like to let me go to you in new york here. i mean, the strategy is very clear to me. i mean, i'm glad graham brought up a mis nbc and c n n and then parks, i mean everything is just got really tribal and, and it's very easy. they think it's really easy to navigate that because what we're basically told the bottom line messages who to hate, who to hate most. that's what they tell us. that's their message. who they hate. go ahead, lionel. i wish there would be just basically a some type of a, of

chris: dozen tore graham have a point -- does senator graham have a point there? >> absolutely not. in fact, senator graham doesn't have a clue. let's talk about who defunded the police. when we were in congress trying to pass a rescue plan -- not the rescue plan, but emergency relief plan for cities that were cash strapped and laying off police and firefighters it was the republicans who objected to it. they didn't get funding until the american rescue plan which our plan allows state and local governments to replenish their police departments and do other things that are needed. republicans are good at staying on talking points on who said defund the police, but the truth is they defunded the police. we funded crime intervention and

graham. george graham's son ultimately becomes one of the owners of gunston hall after our george mason's death we've taken a look a little bit of the people who made this space possible and the reasons why george mason was having this conversation in this house. why don't we take a step into the dining room dinner was about two o clock in the afternoon, but the space at this time of the morning at about 10:30 this morning would have already been active with people getting it ready. so don't we step on in so we're stepping into the dining room here at gunston hall. this space was used by the masons for dinner for public meals. the space itself is beautifully decorated has a wonderful table with silverware dishes all sorts of things on it. but at this time of day people were in here getting it ready, and those people were probably enslaved africans. we know that george mason owned somewhere between 80 and 125 and slings people on this property. it originally amounted to about 5,500 acres we still have about 550 today there were people living in proximity to the house and knows people were mostly people who worked in the house or right around it. so there are a lot of people we don't know a whole lot about we don't know whether or not george mason freida nevis slaves whether he sold any of his slaves. we do know that he wrote in his will in 1773 and he was giving all of his enslaved his enslaved people to his children. one of the people we do know a little bit more about is --. -- was a young enslaved man. he served it for some time as a footman in 1784. he was serving on a ship owned by george mason and at that time he ran away. we don't know why he ran away. we don't know where he went. we don't know what happened to him when he came back, but he did come back to gunston hall. when you served in the position of a footman he would have been potentially in this space or another one of the spaces in the house. acting as a serving man, and when he was in the dining room, he was in that capacity waiting against the wall like the one behind me. to see if your glass needed to be refilled or when it was time to flip between the courses of the meal. i can only imagine what it would have been like to be somebody like -- in this space listening to george mason and george washington and thomas jefferson having conversations about rights liberty and freedom. while looking like he's not really listening to those conversations and knowing that they did not mean anything about him. now george mason did leave a legacy of wright's liberty and freedom it's complicated by the fact that he did own slaves. but he left that legacy for us to continue to have the conversation 250 years later. we left that legacy for his children. so why don't we head upstairs and see where they're living here at gunston hall. so we're heading upstairs going up the grand central passage staircase. this is where the mason family would have gone up the stairs and any guests. we have another staircase. i'll point out in just a minute that the enslaved population the paid servants and indentured servants probably were using most of the time when they were working here at gunston hall. it's hidden from view for our guests if you come and visit gunston hall, you have an opportunity to walk up that staircase and get that experience. so we've stepped up into this long hallway. this seems very atypical in an 18th century home because more often than not we get about five rooms upstairs george mason interestingly enough gets seven plus a storage room. so these bedrooms line the hallway? and there aren't any assigned bed chambers. so the guests were probably using the corner chambers and the kids were using the inner bedrooms the inner bedrooms if you pop your head in don't have any fireplaces. they have fewer windows. it made for this space being a little warmer in the wind a little warmer in the summer a little colder in the winter a little less desirable for visitors. but if we step down the hall and we take a look. into one of these beautiful bedrooms on the side you can see they've got more windows. they've got more fireplace. they've got a fireplace. they'd be a little bit more comfortable for visitors. the family story goes that this bedroom that we're looking into is the one that thomas jefferson stayed in when he visited in september of 1792 just weeks before george mason passed away. now george mason as i mentioned had nine children. most of those nine children ended up in politics or in government in some way involved in the new country. they weren't as prolific as george mason they weren't as well known as george mason, but they were still involved. they saw it as a tenant of their father's expression of liberty that they were supposed to be engaged the same way that george mason himself did unfortunately his oldest son passes away very shortly after our own george mason's death. in 1796 so our george mason passes away in summit 1992 his oldest son george passed away in 1796. so the property falls to a grandson who's not very old at that point. he ends up not living here in the house soon falls out of direct family hands and actually goes to that that nephew by marriage george mason grahamand son of george graham, who is sarah brent's nephew. that being said many of mason's sons and grandsons in politics use their father and grandfather's legacy in some positive ways and some negative ways. one of george mason's grandsons james murray mason followed his grandfather's footsteps into politics and helped author the 1840 fugitive slave act if you're familiar with solomon and northrop's 12 years a slave. that's the law that made that possible now james murray. mason was writing that law based on his father. grandfather's legacy not a very positive in our minds today portion of the history, but very interesting legacy that george mason left behind. other cousins grandsons were involved in politics as well and did some more positive things helped shape government thereafter. so it's very interesting to see the ways in which george mason's life has been used in his legacy has been used. we think here at gunston hall that it is really important that those george mason. owned peo

graham, who is working with democrats in at least one area. senator, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> senator graham: thank you. >> chris: you're a member of the so-called bipartisan group of 21, which is ten democratic senators and 11 republican senators, who have come up with a roughly $1 trillion package on infrastructure. a couple of questions. first of all, how close are you to a deal with the white house, and what's the effective deadline for reaching an agreement? >> senator grahami think i'm the newest member so i got a call from rob portman, would you like to join the group and i said yes because i would like to get something done. i think the difference between this negotiation in the earlier negotiation is that we are willing to add more new money to infrastructure in this package and i am hopeful that the white house and joe biden stay involved if we can get there. i would just say this. it president biden, if you wanted infrastructure deal of a trillion dollars, it's there for the taking, you just need to get involved end. >> chris: democrats on the left -- left say the only way they will agree to this bipartisan info structure packages if there's another, separate, much bigger, maybe even $6 trillion spending and tax package that would be passed on a straight party line vote for the senate. take a look. >> i think it would be very difficult to find the votes for that in the house unless there was a simultaneous movement and agreement of the full reconcili

the big two examples are senator graham of south carolina and cruz of texas. during the 2016 campaign, graham called trump a nut job and loser and before he took on the role of his golf caddy in the u.s. senate. trump personally insulted senator cruz's wife in 2016. ted cruz stood before the camera with anger and after losing a primary, he turned around and phone bank td for him and done nothing by kiss up to the man. sorry, hiedi. people care about how they are perceived. and people who are pursuing people. and so, we keep seeing this. shakespeare test for republicans. what matters more? pursuit of power or basic dignity. ask yourself, what if trump told everyone in the senate to crawl around like a dog and bark. if the bone they were promised was power. i have to think they would do it. i can almost here the arf coming from ted cruz's mouth. literal safety and his family was threatened by donald trump is mike pence. idea he spoke at a republican dinner in new hampshire where he addressed the capitol and mustered up the courage to stand up for himself against his former boss, a little. >> ja

graham have a point there? >> mr. richmond: absolutely not. in fact, senator graham doesn't have a clue. and let's talk about who defunded the police. when we were in congress last year trying to pass a rescue plan -- i'm sorry, not the rescue plan but an emergency relief plan for cities that were cash-strapped and laying off police and firefighters, it was the republicans who objected to it and in fact they didn't get funding until the american rescue plan, which our plan allowed state and local governments to replenish their police departments and do the other things that are needed. so look, republicans are very good at staying on talking points of who says defund the police, but the truth is, they defunded the police, we funded crime intervention at a whole bunch of other things. so i think that this is a very smart, comprehensive approach to dealing with violence in our communities. >> chris: but mr. richmond, the gun problem has been a problem for decades. that didn't get dramatically worse over the last 18 months, even as the number of homicides and shootings did. you talk about the police. let's look at some numbers on the police. of the new york police department saw a 53% increase in resignations and retirements last year. the 50 biggest u.s. cities reduced their 2021 police budgets by 5%. new york city 15%. the president may not support defunding the police, but a lot of these cities are defunding the police. >> mr. richmond: well, chris, i don't think that you can just make that analysis or draw that conclusion. we were also in the midst of a pandemic where cities were cutting their budgets overall because their cash flow was down and so i think that you have to look at in a very apprehensive approach, but look, crime was down '90s when we banned assault weapons and so it's time to ban assault weapons again. the president supports that, he's asked congress to do that and you have to look at access to guns when you talk about fighting violent crime but we do it in a very calm prince of manner. we provide funding for crime intervention, we fund interrupter's, we fund -- we create funding for after-school programs, summer jobs programs, recreation programs, so we are trying to do this in a way that it has never been done before. >> chris: but i think the point that senator grahame republicans make, beyond just the question of funding, is that there has been an attack on the police as if they are part of the problem, especially from some democrats. i also want to talk about the decline in prosecutions and have got some numbers here. according to one study, more than 90% of the charges against people protesting and rioting after george floyd's murder were dropped in most cities. in new york, the ban on cash bail has resulted in the majority of people who are arrested getting released. doesn't that send exactly the wrong signals both to police and to the criminals who are being arrested? >> mr. richmond: chris, look, the prosecutions that state prosecutors make in their charging decisions has to be analyzed by the people who live in those communities and so i will hold my local d.a. accountable and i think that everybody should, but we have to remember hearing that it is about being smart on crime and those people who are peacefully protesting should not be prose

graham the ranking republican on the subcommittee. >> senator graham go ahead. >> thank you, thank you both so much. welcome. there you are. i have a lot of admiration and hope to work with you to solve a lot of problems in the world. you know, the budget is plussed up in areas that i appreciate. we had battles in the last administration a bit about development, but at the end of the day, senator shelby, i think one of the things that our side should be looking at is -- i think we have 300 and something -- $861 million for essential america. count me in for helping central america. there's an ambitious $4 billion aid package to central america for the next four years, mr. shelby. but mr. secretary this is good money after bad until you change our policies here at home. you're not going to change central america to the point that people won't stop coming here completely. and the pull factors that have been created by the biden administration have to change or this money will do no good. count me in for immigration reform. i've talked with senator durbin but as long as we have a catch and release program in our asylum system, they will keep coming no matter what vice president harris says. i appreciate her strong words but our actions on the ground do not match those words. we had 178,000 people come in april, over 60,000 were allowed to stay. single adult males are sent back, unaccompanied minors are allowed to stay. and people with small children are allowed to stay. and if you claim asylum you're released into the united states, you no longer remain in mexico. so my colleagues on this committee, count me in for developing a better life in central america but it will not work until we change our laws. as long as it's understood in central america that you can claim asylum with a family unit with a small child and you get to stay in the united states without being sent back they will keep coming. the word is out the title 42 covid restrictions we're not applying that to unaccompanied minor children. they're coming by the thousands, tens of thousands now. so this is one part of the budget that would make sense, if you change the laws in america. that would be a comprehensive approach that i could support. reforming our laws that are magnets, pull factors in helping central america without reforming our laws, senator shelby, it doesn't matter how much money you spend in central america. jordan, we went back to the m.o.u. level, i would like to talk to the secretary about maybe upping that given the problems that jordan is facing. but i could not agree more with senator leahy, this is an area of the budget we've always come together on. i look forward to working with senator coons at the subcommittee level to come up with a rational foreign policy. i agree with military leaders who say that developmental aid is very important to stop wars and to bring about stability. you cannot fight your way or kill your way to stability. you have to have a military component and you have to have a self-power component. i believe that then, i believe that now, and i look forward to working with my colleagues to make this budget a reality. the sooner we get the top lines, the better for the world. >> thank you senator grahamsenator coons. >> thank you mr. chairman and thank you for your decades of leadership. i look forward to working with you, the vice chairman and the ranking member. welcome secretary blinken we graetly appreciate you being here. the appropriations process creates an opportunity to exchange views with you and that's critical for the department and this committee. i'm grateful for the tremendous work that you and president biden are doing. you have an important week ahead of you, the upcoming meetings with nato, the eu and g-7. i wish you the best of luck as you reaffirm our engagement with these critical alliances. i'm encouraged by the increase request for the department. and senator graham made this point many times. we have a history of shortchanging diplomacy and development in ways that have put added burdens on the u.s. military. and this budget which bolsters our embassies will strengthen alliances, preventing conflicts is no less important than the funding we provide the armed f

that netanyahu can get, any bounce he can get from lindsey graham's visit will undoubtedly be to his benefit. it's not clear he will. lindsey grahamted to meet with other people, other politicians during his visit. it would seem likely that would include nef tally bennett. but at the moment it's unclear if he'll make it as public as he has with the current prime minister. >> netanyahu could say i have trump's guy by my side. there's a danish broadcaster that published a story that said that danish intelligence helped the united states when the u.s. was engaged in phone tapping, listening to the phone calls of european leaders like angela merkel and others which caused such an issue at the end of the obama administration. now european leaders are saying, hey, what went on here then? what has the reaction been? >> yeah. i think you got to look at it in this context as well that what was okay under obama post trump many european leaders have a different view of the united states or one that's changed, been modified. so what you're hearing now from those leaders, emmanuel macron of france, the german chancellor angela merkel and also

graham had a gun. four years today as prime minister. he's haste followed graham officially forced from office. inside, not knowing it was his apartment, his attorney says, and shot him -- in a bathroom when he thought graham was reaching for a weapon. no gun was found. >> i became the spokesperson corruption for him, because he could no charges he remains a formidable force who will likely try to longer speak for himself drive wedges between the coalition parties >> i'm still fighting. after all netanyahu i'm always going to stand with my is likely people. the -- after 12 years is pm, he >> when the george floyd case formed powerful happened, and then the whole alliances. correspondent protest started in manhattan, it was like we need to take kobe is away the money from the police. tracking developments for us in tel aviv. >> alicia, we've been hearing for days that this was going to be a nail-biter. the coalition could not afford to lose a single lawmaker in this vote. we saw that in action tonight just four hours after the reconvene for the session after speeches by both naftali bennett and benjamin netanyahu heckling on the part of some of the lawmakers. finally this poll was held and as i said a total

after hearing that senator lindsey graham of south carolina, originally a supporter of the bill said he won't back it. speaking with politico, graham them together, he can forget it. i'm not doing it. it's extortion. i'm not doing that. the dems are being told you can't get your bipartisan work product passed unless you sign on to what the left wants, and i'm not playing that game. he also said, my comments also created the impression that i was issuing a veto threat on the very plan i had just agreed to, which was certainly not my intent. the bottom line is this. the course correct was enough to get some of the original 11 supporters firmly back on board. >> we were all blind-sided by the comments the previous day, which were that somehow these two bills were connected. it was a surprise to say the least that those two got linked. i'm glad they got delinked, and it's very clear we can move forward with a bipartisan bill that's broadly popular. >> he made very clear in a much larmer statement out over the weekend carefully crafted and thought through piece by piece that if the infrastructure bill reaches his desk and it comes alone

graham see the solution will take cooperation from the private sector. the private sector needs help from the government. i think we're willing to make sure that happens. graham says the bill is an important step in protecting the country from international threats. i'm now being this infrastructure, one of the 11 republicans. i'm going to insist that we consider putting this piece of legislation in the infrastructure bill reporting in washington. i'm basil john. coming up next on the kron 4 morning news coffee could be a game changer in getting through a long day. >> and now there's a new shop open right here in the city. we'll have details ahead in dine and dish. san francisco is a coffee, loving and brewing city. but now there's a new. >> roster will from across the bay kron four's, vicki liviakis has the story in this morning's dine and dish. >> think there's no shortage of really great coffee in the city that make room for one more. it's coming from across the bay oakland red bay coffee. >> you know what we're doing because he is you know, we we do something called. beautiful coffee to the people. and beautiful copy to the people really means trying to b

graham else. the executive director of the california state association of counties. a big supporter behind. this proposal. graham, thanks so much for spending time with us here on kron. 4 news today. >> thank you. good evening. good can talk a little bit more about the governor's plans to make this happen. and why there is that. >> huge need for it. >> we have a very broad coalition of stakeholders, including county's business labor education really across the board to support this historic opportunity. there are 2.3 million californians have no meaningful access to the internet at all as you certainly has been a key 12 issue. more than a quarter of k 12 students did not have sufficient internet access during the middle of a pandemic as they were trying to learn at home and that number jumps to 40 percent for low income communities. we can do better and we have the resources to do better and a responsibility to make it happen. the governor's proposal is smart. it is comprehensive and it would very quickly get broadband to every comunity in california. and for those that the 15 million. california instead have better trapped in a broad and monopoly. it would break that up. so there's real competition and drive down those access rights. >> so what would the students actually receive as part of this. >> this is about infrastructure right now in many communities. the infrastructure is not in place in order for families and communities to access to meaningfully access the internet and that has to change in the state with santa clara county and silicon valley. that's started the digital economy. there are a half a million residents and santa clara county alone that are trapped in a broad. then monopoly. so this is about quickly getting the infrastructure in the ground. through leveraging the federal dollars that are their building open access middle mile network. so there's real competition and that building out that last mile which has blocked so many communities in california from having real broadband access and we can do that. the resources are there this year. it's historic and we have a responsibility to make it happen now, is why we're calling on the legislature to adopt the governor's plan before they leave at the end of this month. we don't want to lose another day, another month, another construction sea-on when we can go big and get it done. >> is the infrastructure. the biggest part in this digital divide between some communities or what or what do you see as the biggest factor in and in bridging that gap and why it is so large. >> that when there's 2 critical issues that we need to address. one is there just isn't the infrastructure in place in many communities in order for brought in even be a possibility and that has to change in the state like california, the second is in many communities that have it. the rates are high because you don't have any choice. it's a monopoly and that needs to change as well. so that there's greater for affordability and access to israel. and so that the rest of california can participate in our digital economy that's so critical for jobs. so critical for innovation. it's so critical for education and we can do that this year we just need the legislature to step up and adopt the governor's plan between now and the end of them up. >> why don't they want to do that. >> well, i think there's always a question about how big do you go. and the legislature has a proposal that starts the process and we're certainly thankful for that. but we have historic opportunity and we don't want to lose another year, another season. the opportunity and what the governor has put in his budget would lop off 7 to 10 years of time to get prompt communities and we just can't afford to wait any longer. we can do this now. it's a rural county issue, a real community issue. but it's also a significant issue in many urban areas that do not have real access to the internet. this is particularly true in low income areas and we can make it happen right now. >> that's right. yeah. definitely digital divide definitely has to close its never been more important. now. than ever as we clearly saw during the pandemic. graham else with the california state association of counties. thanks much for spending time in the knowledge here on kron. 4 news at 8. great. thank you. thank you. so much. more to come tonight here on rising star will show you how an 8 year-old boy. >> became a professional wrestler. >> also laker fans don't have to travel to socal anymore to go visit the

stores will open at 10 o'clock. but because of safety protocols, you have to rsvp. >> this does mark the first legoland discovery center in the entire state. and there's a lot of cool things for kids to see and do their for your money tonight. oil prices are on the rise to their highest level in more than 2 years. >> the bad news that rise likely means higher gas prices at the pump. but it's also an optimistic sign of a strong economic deman

graham, a late north carolinian, respected and beloved by millions. even the speaker of the house has had many kind words for reverend graham. only the fourth american ever to lie in honor in the u.s. capitol. in a press release dated february 21, 2018, the speaker said in part the following -- reverend graham's leadership and firm partnership with the reverend dr. martin luther king jr. were vital in the fight for civil rights in the south. he counseled the u.s. president regardless of party, brought grace and humility into our politics. i ask unanimous consent that the entire release be entered in the record, madam speaker. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. davis: and madam speaker, i agree with the speaker's remarks. reverend graham was vital in the fight for civil rights in the south. . so today i ask, why are we still having this conversation six years later? why do the democrats continue to delay states' efforts like north carolina and like arkansas to replace statues in question that are currently at the capitol? why do democrats delay action keeping these statues of known racist democrats in this building? democrats have done nothing on any statue for the past six months, leaving statues of segregationists, known racists and other confederate democrats in our capitol. as

graham in a meeting in jerusalem. senator graham went to jerusalem to meet with the prime minister amid this current violence between israel and hamas, senator cruz is also sharing emotional photos of a home in israel that was destroyed in a bombing by hamas. so you don't have -- you don't certainly feel the support from this administration for israel and then there's china. we continue to hear the conversation around covid-19, the whole world is waking up to the probability that it originated in a wuhan lab but president biden is yet to hold china to account and i'm asking the question whether it is a conflict of interest. is he afraid because of all of the money that his son, hunter biden, made. we require the e-mail, the famous e-mail from the laptop, 10% of this company held by h for hunter for the big guy, is president biden the big guy? the new york post continues to report on the laptop. there were e-mails and pictures of president biden with his son, hunter, when they had a meeting at cafe milano in washington with officials from ukraine and russia. they call them ukrainian, russia and khazak businessmen. they posed for photos in deals that hunter biden was doing with them. he was on the board of burisma, making $80,000 a month. your thoughts on the conflict of interest in this administration in terms of important foreign policy decisions and allies? >> look, if president biden was a republican, hunter would be in jail. the fact is, he's had gun violations. he clearly i think engaged in overseas foreign practices. and i think that there's no question that the level of corruption we're seeing -- and by the way, this extends across the board. they have appointed somebody who lost $900 million in washington state unemployment money, mostly to nigerians who were hacking in and stealing identities. they have appointed somebody who lost $32 billion in california on unemployment money, most of that when to american criminals. and none of this seems to bother biden or the democrats at all. the president himself said, you know, some people believe china will pass us -- i think he said china will own us in 15 years. well, you'd think if an american president believed that he would have a plan to make it -- you know, to stop it. i'll give you one simple example. there's a bill introduced to allow americans to sue china over covid. and people say, well, that's nice but you'll never collect it. we ought to put a 30% tariff on all of chinese imports and build up a trust fund so that if people do win these lawsuits, the money is sitting there in the bank to pay them. we don't have to allow china to lie, manipulate, cheat, and pretend we can't do anything. we're their largest customer. they have a huge investment in us. and i think that they just think we're so tim mid and so -- timid and so cowardly that they can run over us every morning. unfortunately, the biden administration reinforces that. maria: the biden administration is also giving out falseities on the state voting laws, there's that as well. shouldn't we have honesty about hr1 from the president versus the state laws, like what happened in texas. >> look, president biden can't be honest about hr1 which i call the corrupt politicians act, because if you actually understood what it did, which is basically to legalize stolen elections to give politicians money for the taxpayer for running for office to blocking any effort to identify who the voters are, i think if he told the truth about it, the bill would be dead. maria: unbelievable. newt gingrich, it's great to talk with you. we've got to continue this conversation another time. we'll see you soon, newt. thank you. newt gingrich. we'll be right back. p with better than ever deals at cvs, you can save big to make your summer... crunchier... yummier... happier... and together'er. get up to $15 extrabucks rewards when you spend $45 on select products. now at cvs. what does it mean to be a hero? ancestry helped me learn more about the man behind the medal. he was a father to two young daughters. he was a scout and he knew the land better than anyone. he came from italy with nothing for a new life. his family depended on him. he sacrificed so much. isaac payne barney f. hajiro elijah bacon michael valente he is our family's hero. who are the heroes in your family? maria: welcome back. small businesses facing several challenges including blu-ray labor shortages -- labor shortages, looming regulations and taxes going up as we head into the summer months. jean marks of the marks group joins me now to talk about the state of small business. how would assess today's small business environment? >> really challenging, maria. it is really is. the economy is certainly picking up so that's really good news but right now all of my clients, the people i speak to in the small business community are really struggling to find workers and also dealing with supply chain issues. those are the two big issues they've got going into the summer. it's making what could be a good recovery really, really challenging for a lot of small businesses. maria: yeah. so what do they do? i mean, how do you see this playing out? you've gone 22 states now saying, look, we're not going to accept the unemployment benefits, the $300 a week because they say that it's an impediment for people to get back to work, another issue that small business is facing. does that correct the issue? >> yeah, it makes a big impact. you know what, thank god for those states that are doing that. if you're running a restaurant or retail shop and trying to find workers, for the states allowing unemployment compensation to go through, many workers find it easier for them to stay home and more profitable for them to do that so that's a big problem. so it's not even an issue for the people that are in those states that are restricting those payments, there's the rest of the country, california, new york, a lot of blue states where businesses are struggling to find people. what can they do? they have to pay people more. and in return, they've got to turn around and increase their prices. so it means that consumers are paying more as well. so just finding those workers isn't enough. it's a matter of giving them ken compensation. you know what, maria, they're challenged because they're competing against larger companies that are grabbing up those workers and the government and paying them more than what a typical small business can offer. so it's a big, big issue. the other issue, by the way, is that because a lot of teachers are not going back to work as they should, a lot of workers are forced to stay at home to look after their kids and because of that, they they don't have the ability to come back to work either. and that's also -- it's just a big headache for a lot of businesses to try and find workers to meet the demand. not a demand issue, it's a supply issue. maria: yeah, it's a real one-two punch. gene, thanks so much. gene marks joining us on small business this morning. take a break. when we come back the home to help you live forever, why this multicolored ham tons home is -- hamptons home is making a buzz this morning. we're on it when we come right back. ♪ it started with an idea... and became a new tradition. this is financial security. and lincoln financial solutions will help you get there as you plan, protect and retire. will help you get there as you plan, no one likes to choose between safe or sporty. modern or reliable. we want both - we want a hybrid. so do banks. that's why they're going hybrid with ibm. a hybrid cloud approach helps them personalize experiences with watson ai while helping keep data secure. ♪ ♪ ♪ from banking to manufacturing, businesses are going with a smarter hybrid cloud, using the tools, platform and expertise of ibm. ♪ ♪ ♪ maria: welcome back. time for the morning buzz. givenning new meaning to the term forever home, a home for sale in the hamptons promising to help people become i'm mortal. it -- immortal. it features uneven floors, two toilets back to back and other unique designs. it was built by an artist couple in 2008. they believe the design could increase mental and physical stimulation which could prolong life indefinitely. the asking price for this home is $975,000. dagen, would you buy this?

coming out on friday , we are also getting readings on manufacturing, construction spending and mortgage applications later on in the month of june. we will get the c-car results from the federal reserve on the major banks, we could see dividend increases on the horizon. >> stocks closed out the month of may mostly in the green take a look at the month that was with the dow industrials up 1.5% close to 2% actually on the dow, nasdac was lower by 1.5% abdomen and the s&p 500 by half a percent for the month of may global markets are showing a firmer tone, european stocks are higher, the cac

markets were mostly higher take a look with the exception of japan, fractional moves across-the-board. mornings are maria is live right now. >> now, some of the top stories we are watching this morning, progressive democrats are now calling on president biden to stop all negotiations with republicans, and push the massive $2 trillion spending bill through reconciliation. republicans say the president's $1.7 trillion proposal is still too expensive, they countered with a $928 billion offer last week, but transportation secretary pete buttigieg is warning republicans they have until monday to reach a deal. as we have been reporting so far , democrats do not have enough votes to pass the package without republican support. >> intelligence services meanwhile in the uk are now re evaluating their position on covid-19's origins as i've reported since the start. the coronavirus likely leaked from the lab in wuhan. now, a new report cites british spy saying that the leak is " feasible" out of that wuhan lab leaders in both the u.s. and uk are demanding a real investigation calling on the world health organization to report on the virus' origin. meanwhile, so far, only republicans are saying that the chinese communist government needs to be held accountable. >> u.s. companies meanwhile can require employees to get the covid-19 vaccine before returning to the office. that's according to new guidance from the equal employment opportunity commission. employers, however, must provide reasonable accommodations for workers who refuse to get the shot because of disability or pregnancy or religious reasons. >> meanwhile the battle over new voting bills here in texas, texas governor greg abbott makes it clear he will not tolerate political stunts, threatening to veto funding for the state legislature. this after a wild weekend where state democrats walked off the house floor, just before the midnight sunday to block election security legislation and not give the republicans a quorum to do just that. here is what governor abbott told me about the voting bill just last week on "sunday morning futures." >> in texas, every session we focus on making sure we have safe and secure elections and this has absolutely nothing to do with the past presidential election, but one thing that we do know in texas, and that is that mail-in ballots are full of frauds well as ballot harvesting maria: the texas bill bans 24 hour voting and drive-through voting and requirements for absentee ballots and imposes fines for any obstruction of poll watchers. >> markets

way you allocate capital? do you invest around the notion of pricing power? >> there's no question that the impact of inflation numbers does have a big big impact on the markets, as you know, but if you look at it from a long term point of view, if you correlate the s&p index, or any other index against the inflation numbers, the correlation is rather low, but it's a psychological impact that we're talking about but the big-big problem that we face now is that we're now still in the trump bull market. we hope that biden can continue this market by pouring money into the system, but if the republicans block that we could be in trouble, so this is a real problem. the index as you know is down but a lot of emerging markets currencies are up, china is up about 10% on the rmb, taiwan dollars up, the korean yuwan is up against the u.s. dollar so the emerging markets look pretty good from a currency point of view and of course as you know they participated in this incredible bull market, but the real problem now is how biden can keep this trump bull market going. maria: yeah, well, i want to ask you about emerging markets in a second, but let me stay on inflation for a moment, because the real impact maybe felt when the federal reserve starts talking about it and starts beginning that so-called tapering. cornerstone macro writing in a weekend report this weekend that the federal reserve, the base case is remaining that communication about tapering will happen in the july-to- september period where tapering will begin in january of 2022 and end in december of 2022 so if we start here in the federal reserve talk about pulling in on the stimulus between july and september, does that mean a sell-off in stocks? >> yes, unless the bill still gets through and the spending starts otherwise, i mean, if i was hitting on the federal reserve and looking at the numbers, and if i wanted to do what they normally do i be tightening more quickly than what they're talking about, so this is a real issue that we have to watch very carefully. maria: let me get nancy tangler in here she's also allocating capital. go ahead, nancy. >> mark, thanks so much. listen, you wrote your notes but you thought large money managers were underestimating the veroci ty of the inflation and i agree with you so what are you doing with your portfolios that when we get the inevitable volatility? >> what we're doing is holding on to what we have. you must remember, our portfolio of course is emerging markets but it's concentrated in the medium-size company, particular lynn it taiwan, the tech companies in taiwan, china, korea, et cetera, so we're holding on to those stocks , but more importantly, what we're doing is keeping a little reserve, about 10% in cash, in cases that we can buy more, but otherwise, we think that this market will continue, particularly in the emerging markets. maria: so talk to us about that, mark. where specifically, i know that you have been broadening out and you've liked india for a long time. many world economies are recovering from this pandemic. where is india in that at this point, and where is the opportunity from an investment standpoint? >> india is the biggest allocation we have in our portfolio followed by taiwan, korea, then china, a little bit in china, then we have a little bit in brazil, south africa and turkey, but india is by far the biggest allocation, about 26 % of the portfolio, and the concentration is in software companies, that are benefiting from this whole internet boom that we're experiencing globally , and healthcare, particularly testing. as you know, the covid testing is a big big business now so we're in that area and then in education because more and more on line education is growing at a rapid pace, but generally speaking in these emerging market countries, education is a very very big spending item for families that have the money maria: that's a great point. mark real quick before you go, would you allocate money to u.s. stocks right here? >> yeah, if they're exposed to emerging markets, so many many stocks in the u.s. market that are very very good for emerging market exposure and there are some adr's and gdr's that you should look at. maria: all right, we will leave it there mark mark it's great to catch up with you as always thanks so much. >> thank you. maria: all right, mark mobius joining us there much more ahead this morning coming up new york congressman lee zeldin is here discussing the lab origins of covid-19 and later this hour, former under secretary of state for economic growth keith crack explains how the endless frontiers act stands to put the u.s. ahead of china we'll talk about debating that bill and then we're

>> i'm skeptical as of now, but hopefully, there can be increased international pressure placed on china. it be good for the world health organization, for individual nations, from the united states to the british and others to ramp up the pressure on the chinese communist party. it really was always a feasible theory that this is where the covid-19 emerged from originally and last february and march, i was one of the people talking about 2020, not 2021, about the need for more transparency and to find out where the origin was, because when you're trying to battle a pandemic, the first thing you need is early detection and that was sacrificed due to the lack of transparency by the chinese, but the problem was when we were talking about this in february, march of 2020 we were being accused of racism just solely for considering this possibility that even came from china and that china wasn't being transparent, but you know, fortunately, here we are on junn , but i'm skeptical that china is going to allow us to have the full access we need, as of now. maria: well, you need leadership in order to push them to do that and you're not getting that leadership from joe biden, that's for sure. he won't even bring up the issue the australian government said we want answers and china cut them off, stopped importing important commodities that australia needed, but look, it's pretty clear. i know you were one of the early ones to raise your hand about this , and the story hasn't changed. it's ridiculous to me to see the media now saying oh, new revelations, no, it was probable from the beginning, it was probable during the pandemic, and it is probable today, that it came from the lab that are studying the coronavirus in wuhan, china, all of the evidence led to that from day one. i want to switch gears and ask you about israel, because senator lindsey graham israel to discuss the recent violence in the gaza strip. senator ted cruz shared a photo of a home in israel that was destroyed in a bombing by hamas, congressman. what's your take on what's going on in the middle east? do you think the cease-fire stands and what should the biden administration be doing right now in terms of supporting our allie in the middle east, israel >> well, for cues, they could be looking at what you see senator cruz and senator graham and mike pompeo doing. a true friend, when tested, is there for each other, and right now is a key time for the biden administration to be showing their friendship for israel, not when it's easy but when it's tough. we need to be present, standing shoulder to shoulder with israel right now. right now, for domestic politic, you're seeing an internal debate within the democratic party emerging, by the way, in some respects with anti-semetic violence on the streets of the u.s. , and over in israel, they're watching what's going on h

graham? what would satisfy mitch mcconnell? the problem is, senator graham put it absolutely correctly.lem is too many people are voting. that is not the problem that we're facing. >> right. >> right. or as one viewer who heard me say that said, no, actually, republicans are, to their minds are fixing a problem. the problem is -- they think too many people are voting. you are a great strategies so i'm -- hear me out on this, it seemed to me when manchin put out his comprise that no one saw coming and the stuff that he had in it and then stacy abrams coming out and say, hey, i'm for it. and before democrats had a chance to react to stacy abrams, mitch mcconnell comes out and says, nope, we're not for it because it's the stacy abrams bill now. now democrats are circling the wagons. i just wonder is senator manchin crazy like a fox? did he actually set up the republicans to show they're not interested in a bipartisan deal as a means of making it easier for democrats to reform the filibuster and do it in a way allowing him to sign on and -- or a reform of the filibuster rule so that the for

graham satchell, bbc news, wimbledon. graham was not wrong. in the last few minutes, it has got even heavier, the rain. about ten miles north of us at wembley. you cannot see that far in the distance at the moment because it is so misty. they'll be getting the stadium ready for england versus germany tomorrow. england will have to decide if mason mount and ben chilwell are ready to play — although they are training away from the squad after they had to self isolate. as for the match, midfielder kalvin phillips isn't phased by their recent poor record against the germans. this isjust another game for me, it's another important game for, obviously, the country as well. so, you know, regardless of, you know, whether we did well against germany years ago, whetherwe didn't, it doesn't really matter now. it's about tuesday and how we can go forward in this tournament. defending champions portugal are out. cristiano ronaldo's team were beaten 1—0 by the top—ranked side in the world — belgium. that's set up a clash with italy in the last eight. a surprise in the other game as the netherlands were beaten 2—0 by the czech republic. they'll play they team who ended welsh hopes — denmark. czech player petr korda reached the quarter finals here back in 1998 — losing to tim henman. well, his daughter is now a major champion. in golf, nelly korda won the women's pga championship in atlanta and has become the world number one in the process too. her brother seb is in the first round here later on today. a very sporty family. we will have tim henman on the programme around eight 30 am. | tim henman on the programme around eight 30 am. i have mentioned the rain. fine rain really sexy through, doesn't it? this is certainly fine rain. it turned heavier. the temperature at wimbledon is 16 degrees. yesterday, in canada, they had their highest temperature on record, 46.6 celsius, just short of 116 fahrenheit. i think i would rather be on 16 and that kind of temperature. towards centre court there is a lot of low cloud, also some rain. the forecast for wimbledon looks like it'll be wet on and off. we have this this morning. through the course of the day showers on and off. some could be heavy and boundary. top temperature 20 degrees. a bit of a north— south divide. sunny spells in the north and in the south some rain. low pressure is dominating in the south stop a lot of fine, dry and sunny conditions. across lincolnshire and yorkshire there will be cloud which could bring the odd shower stock that will be the exception rather than the rule. another band coming in across the south coast. this morning it will ease but it will only be replaced by showers, some of which will be heavy. temperatures today high teens mellow 20s. this evening and overnight there will be a lot of cloud. for cumbria, northern ireland and scotland, we are looking at clear skies and missed, not a particularly cold night. tomorrow, similar to today. if you drew a line from wales across to the wash we are looking at cloud with showers on and off was that the thundery in the south east later we will see more low cloud coming in. temperatures could hit 24 in glasgow tomorrow. into wednesday, full wednesday, we start off on a cloudy notable it will brighten up in the west. if you showers and temperatures in hi teens into the low 20s. weather is not spectacular is that it looks like high pressure may build in later on. by high pressure may build in later on. by the weekend we will have had antic fronts coming in. that means again it will be unsettled. —— atlantic fronts coming in. good luck. see you later. the grass looks nice! changes to rail season tickets come into effect today in england. they're designed to give passengers more flexible options. nina's got the details from leeds station this morning. the weather is a little better there. good morning. i the weather is a little better there. good morning.- the weather is a little better there. good morning. i had 'ust heard sauyfi there. good morning. i had 'ust heard sally talking i there. good morning. i had 'ust heard sally talking about i there. good morning. i hadjust heard sally talking

city awakening this morning. maybe some people will wonder, when i work from the office or work from home? the trend was already happening pre—pandemic that has been accelerated by the lockdown is. let's see how the new flexible season tickets work. instead of being limitless use, you would get a ticket to use in the space of 28 days. great if your employer is offering you the option of hybrid working. you can calculate the savings online. the tickets are paperless, supposed to be easier. it means he will need a smartphone or a travel card. this will not come as a huge surprise but lastly we had the lowest rail passenger numbers since 1872. the aim is to bring people back onto the trains because members are still very low. you could save up are still very low. you could save up to £350 every year. what we're hearing from commuters at the bbc is it is not necessarily working out for them. it is not necessarily working out forthem. eight it is not necessarily working out for them. eight is not that many. what if you want to take a spontaneous trip or your boss calls in unexpectedly? they are actually more expensive perjourney and has put people off like bridget, who respected. she was excited about the scheme but not when she looked into the detail. when i heard about these flexi tickets, i thought it was a really good idea and i was quite interested in finding out what it was all about because i thought they would take a monthly ticket, divide it by 30, for example, and times it by eight, because they were talking about eight tickets. that isn't apparently what they've done. for me, itjust isn't going to make any difference. it might have been an idea to consult people who actually commute and ask us what we wanted and what would have helped us the most. tonyis tony is here from modern railway magazine. it seems so niche. who is the flexible ticket working for? it the flexible ticket working for? it is targeted at people who are going to work_ is targeted at

very interesting. thank you — anne robinson's goodbye wink and unflinching style saw her branded as the �*queen of mean' during her time on the weakest link. and from today, she returns to our screen as the host of countdown. anne becomes the sixth person — and the first woman — to present the channel 4 show in its 39—year history. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson went on set to find out how she is settling in. hello and welcome to countdown. as you probably guessed, i'm new, but it does mean now three girls do countdown. today's the day when anne robinson takes overfrom nick hewer to become the sixth host of channel 4's countdown. a visit to the studio proved that she's already making herself at home. anne robinson in the countdown chair. how is it? i've had to adapt it because i'm much smaller than nick. so there's a sort of platform coming out here that you won't have noticed. then i'm right handed, he was left handed, so i don't have the buzzer any more. this is all very interesting. technical. no, no, this isn't so technical. there's a hook for my handbag. i only got that yesterday — i've been asking for weeks. the stat that keeps being trotted out, you are the first woman to present the show in 39 years of it. when that's said, how does it make you feel? it made me feel cross because we should be past being surprised that it's a woman doing a job, shouldn't we? it's going to get mentioned, isn't it? yeah, but, you know, it shouldn't really, because if you've got the brains, what does it matter whether you're male or female? i know you're probably more likely to have the brains if yourfemale. are things changing in tv on that front? well, i'm still here, colin, and i'm 76 and three quarters, so something's going in the right direction. over in dictionary corner, susie dent has now worked with all six countdown hosts. if you were to pick one, perhaps unusual word to describe anne, what word would you go for? 0k. you've put me on the spot here. i would say that and is both discombobulating and then recombobulating. so she kind of takes the rug from under you and you think, "help." and then she willjust very gently put you back on it. while on the other side of the studio, it's 12 years since rachel riley replaced carol vorderman. we've taken over your board. you have. can you have any fun with that word? nine letters. well, i wasjust looking at it. you can get "fabtakers" or "farbasket." but nothing rude. i'm here for the rude words. how different is the show with anne in the chair? it's very different. it's almost like we've got a different set of contestants because she gives them a grilling — not kind of weakest link style. she's toned it down for countdown, but she still givea them a grilling. and for some people, it turns them into a stand—up comic. and, you know, they're ready to give their repertoire. for some people, they kind of treat her like a dinosaur and they don't stare directly at her. and if they don't move, maybe she won't see them and she'll go away. but it's been really funny. are you nervous? yes. that's two of us. and anne agrees that countdown viewers will be exposed to a different side of her. well, i don't think you could see my form of the weakest link on now. that's certainly a change. i don't think i could say half the things i used to say. why's that? well, i think political correctness and wokeness has arrived in the last... what shall i say? ..three years. and the tweeting and the outrage would make it impossible. i think that programme makers are now very nervous. that would make it difficult to do a programme where, you know, the whole point of it was insulting people for 45 minutes. how different is your persona? are you being cuddlier? no, i'm just as horrible in real life, colin. but when you're doing countdown... i've had enough of you now. when you're doing countdown... no, i've had enough of you. that's it. i was the weakest link. goodbye. colin paterson, bbc news, the countdown studio. that was him, dismissed. that was genuinely the end of the interview. i have had enough of you. i would quite enjoy it if all our interviewees did that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. arsenal's emirates stadium will continue to be used as a pop—up clinic for mass covid vaccinations in north london, in order to boost numbers. anyone over the age of 18 who has not yet received their first dose of vaccine, is encouraged to do so either by booking an appointment or turning up at the stadium. latest government figures show over five million londoners have received their first dose and three and a half million have been double vaccinated. and a half million have the wimbledon tennis championships are back and get under way later today at the all england club, having been cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. many businesses in the area suffered due to the lack of footfall, but one owner is delighted to be welcoming visitors back to sw19 — despite the tournament operating at 50% capacity across the grounds. compared to last year, that was tumbleweed blowing down the high street. and it was upsetting and we felt sad and upset that, you know, something that we have perhaps taken for granted wasn't here. yes, its reduced capacity this year. yes, a lot of the players aren't allowed to stay local. but any tennis is better than no tennis at all. a teenage boy has been arrested following a fatal stabbing of a 26—year—old man, who was killed at an illegal rave near millwall�*s football ground on saturday evening. police found the victim in an industrial unit at stockholm road and he was pronounced dead at the scene. the met police has urged anyone who was at the music event to get in touch. new flexible rail season tickets for travel in and out of london can be used from today. rail passengers can buy eight tickets for travel between two named train stations to use any time over 28 days. the department for transport says the flexible ticket could potentially save two and three day—a—week commuters hundreds of pounds every year. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, apart from delays on the dlr. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a mostly dry start to the day. plenty of cloud. mild out there. the heavy rain from last night has cleared but there could still be a few showers lingering on and we will see that cloud thin and break as we head through the morning to give us some spells of brightness and sunshine. where we get the extra heat in the sunshine, there could also be thunderstorms developing in the second half of the day. watch out for some heavy downpours, maybe a rumble or two of thunder. top temperatures peaking between 21, maybe as high as 23 celsius with a light north—easterly wind. as we head through this evening, we'll still see showers rumble on for a time but they should gradually fade away to leave us with a mostly dry night to come. plenty of cloud, temperatures still in double figures. a mild start to the day tomorrow. mostly dry on tuesday morning. there will be some more showers moving in from the south. longer spells of rain as we head through tuesday afternoon and into the evening. wednesday, it is looking mostly dry. quite an unsettled week ahead generally. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today... work begins for the new health secretary after a dramatic weekend — sajid javid will update us later on when all remaining restrictions will be lifted in england. the department of health says it will investigate how footage of matt hancock in an embrace with his aide was leaked. there'll be a special service of commemeration at st paul's cathedral to thank nhs staff on the front line. welcome staff on the front line. to day one of a wimbledon like welcome to day one of a wimbledon like you have never seen before. big joanna counter will not be playing. they close contact for covid—19. she has to isolate it is a cloudy and damp start to the day at wimbledon. we will see some rain this morning followed by showers later and that are similar to much of the uk. in the south, cloudy and wet in the north, dry and sunny we will be back later with good morning. it's monday, 28thjune. our top story. after a dramatic weekend in westminster, the new health secretary sajid javid begins his first week in the job. he'll update mps later on plans for lifting the remaining coronavirus restrictions in england. the former chancellor says his priority is to see a return to normal as soon as possible. despite his appointment, labour says the issue surrounding matt hancock's resignation is far from over. james reynolds has more. he was once in charge of the nation's money, now sajid javid is in charge of its health. the dispute over the power of downing street, which led him to resign as chancellorjust a month before the start of the pandemic, appears to have been set aside. i was honoured to take up this position. i also know that it comes with huge responsibility, and i will do everything i can to make sure that i deliver for the people of this great country. mrjavid replaces matt hancock. he resigned on saturday, a day after images were published of him in an embrace at work with a colleague, breaking covid restrictions that he had a leading role in imposing. for the government its case closed. not so for the opposition. if anybody thinks that the resignation of bangkok is the end of the issue, i think they're wrong. and i think the incoming health secretary and the prime minister now have serious questions to answer about the cctv, about the access, the policies, the contracts, etc. but the new health secretary may be more interested in this the country's vaccination programme. over the weekend, hundreds of walk—in centres opened across england. on saturday alone, more than 400,000 received a jab across the uk. the nhs says that half of all 18 to 30—year—olds in england have now been given their first dose. the government wants the rest to get theirs byjuly19th. that's when restrictions are due to be lifted. sajid javid says his immediate priority is a return to normal in his previous stint in cabinet. he ould sit right next to boris johnson as health secretary, though. will he have the ear of the prime minister? james reynolds, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam, there's an update today on when covid restrictions will ease in england later. what can we expect? this was pencilled in by the prime minister two weeks ago when he announced a final stage of the lifting of lockdown in england was going a month. the lifting of lockdown in england was going a month-— lifting of lockdown in england was auoin a month. ~ :, going a month. the pm said we would keep looking — going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at _ going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at the _ going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at the data _ going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at the data and - going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at the data and in - going a month. the pm said we would keep looking at the data and in a - keep looking at the data and in a update the public on how that is this is the schedule and folding. if you look at the date of the number of cases has but ministers and officials did expect that to happen because more, more things open, fewer restrictions and around yourself a of people going has only gone up by a tiny amount but i think the government will still think there needs to be for a few more million people to get their second dose and so it looks of delaying the field lifting of restrictions to the 19th ofjuly but it would be in public seeing how he has packs and how he is going to do thejob public seeing how he has packs and how he is going to do the job and unanswered questions after everything the one metre rule in capacity limits for theatres and cinemas and labour say matt hancock's resignation over breaking covid guidelines by kissing his aide, isn't the end of the matter? there are a few lease incidents need to be tied a private e—mail address to be tied a private e—mail address to do they want to know was appointed was leaked in even there are still a few questions we will be speaking to angela rayner in around we can discuss all that with thejustice secretary robert buckland just after 7.30am here on breakfast. a service of thanksgiving will be held at st paul's cathedral, to recognise the work of nhs staff who have been on the frontline throughout the pandemic. it will take place on 5thjuly ? the same date as the nhs in england was founded 73 years ago. simonjones reports. applause and cheering. emotional tributes to nhs workers, who've risen to the challenge of the coronavirus crisis. this was for clap for carers, people coming out on their doorsteps near the start of the pandemic to thank doctors, nurses and health staff who've made such a difference. now, st paul's cathedral is set to host a socially distance service on the 73rd anniversary of the foundation of the nhs. among those invited are mae parsons, who administered the first covid vaccine in the world outside of a trial to margaret keenan. and catherine dawson, who credits doctors with saving the life of her and her baby. catherine was 32 weeks pregnant when she contracted covid, and had to spend eight days on a ventilator. also present will be some of the doctors who helped treat the first coronavirus patients in the uk. i will be there with colleagues, and we will be remembering what's been going on. and so all of that will be quite an emotional experience. we've all been at times very emotional, whether it's tiredness, whether it was fatigue, whether it was just personal issues. all of this has affected us over the last 18 months. the nhs in england has provided hospital treatment for around 400,000 seriously ill covid patients. there have been challenges with equipment, with the toll the pandemic has taken on staff. there will be more issues ahead, but the simple service will provide a moment to take stock and to hope for better times. simon jones, bbc news. family members of those killed or missing when an apartment building collapsed in florida, have been permitted to visit the site. nine people have been confirmed dead and more than 150 are still missing following thursday's disaster in surfside, north of miami. rescuers are working to find survivors but the local mayor has admitted they will "need luck now" if they are to find anyone alive. carol is at wimbledon for us this morning with the weather. it is almost traditional as you can see the iconic wimbledon as part of the government? the event to begin with 50% capacity rising to it is down murky and lots of low cloud and the forecast for wimbledon we are looking at these kind of conditions. it might a little bit but through the afternoon we will they could be heavy and thundery and some brightness a bit of a north—south divide in the uk to date. in the north it is dry at a fair bit of sunshine and it will feel warm with cloud and a lot of heavy rain across heading into the midlands and the new band coming in across southern counties. that will ease and then we are looking to the course of the other end with temperatures in the high teens to the for england and wales a fair. some chariot race of wind, cumbria and scotland will be some clear skies and a, not tomorrow very. "i will do everything i can to make sure i deliver for the people of this great country" — that's the message from the new health secretary sajid javid as he begins his first week in thejob. the former chancellor said it was his priority to bring about a return to normal as soon as possible following the pandemic. we're joined now by saffron cordery, the deputy chief executive of nhs providers and also by pat cullen, acting general secretary and chief executive of the royal college of nursing. good morning to both of you and thank you for being with us. pat, it's such an importantjob so what do you think will be top of the agenda for sajid javid? i do you think will be top of the agenda for sajid javid?- agenda for said javid? i don't think there _ agenda for said javid? i don't think there is— agenda for sajid javid? i don't think there is any _ agenda for sajid javid? i don't think there is any more - agenda for sajid javid? i don't - think there is any more important job in government than looking after the health service and the people. the most important priorities for nursing at the point is to put a national recovery plan in place for nursing that addresses the nursing workforce issues, the tens of thousands of vacancies we have across england which cannot continue. we saw that through the pandemic, where nurses felt that they were very much approaching the pandemic with one hand tied behind their back but didn't they do a fantasticjob looking after people? but those vacancies need to be addressed. we also understand that the pay review body that recommends the pay review body that recommends the pay review body that recommends the pay award for health care staff including nurses might very well be including nurses might very well be in his in tray. and what we are saying to him, please don't insult nurses by awarding them a 1% pay award, that will do nothing to try to hold on to those fantastic nurses that we have in the system. not one of them can we afford to lose but it also will not attract nurses into the system so that is a major challenge for the health secretary as he sits at his desk this morning. picking that up

secretary, matt hancock, last week on the programme and we put him to point that one of the senior consultants made at the hospital where we were that in terms of waiting lists and catching up, he did not think the health service would get back to near normal in five or even ten years so do you share those concerns about waiting lists and where we are at the minute and concerns about where we will be in five or ten years? i and concerns about where we will be in five or ten years?— in five or ten years? i do, we share all those concerns _ in five or ten years? i do, we share all those concerns because - in five or ten years? i do, we share all those concerns because all - in five or ten years? i do, we share all those concerns because all the l all those concerns because all the pressures and crises we have found ourselves in at the moment with our waiting list and the backlog of people waiting for appointments, the christ we have in social care, the crisis within mental health services —— at the crisis we have. all of those areas will not be addressed if we don't address the workforce crisis. whether it is in the community or social care or mental health, you always have to come into contact with a nurse and if you don't have nurses, you don't have health care, simple as that so that vacancies are central to all of the issues that the health secretary needs to address. e needs to address it quickly because those waiting lists are totally out of control put of the people sitting on those lists are desperately in need of care and nurses are in desperately wishing to address those lists are. they want to be able to provide safe, good, effective care for patients and it must be very difficult for each nurse entering their place of work this morning and this evening to know that they don't have the resources they are required to provide the best care possible. they are still doing that and what an accolade that is to the nursing profession and other health care staff. they need the resources to do that and the vacancies are important to address at the moment.— that and the vacancies are important to address at the moment. thank you both very much _ to

bring to the role. well, labour say that matt hancock's resignation from the role is not the end of the matter. we're joined now by the party's deputy leader, angela rayner. good morning and thank you for joining us. matt hancock has resigned, there is a new health secretary so why are you saying it's not the end of the matter? because we need to — not the end of the matter? because we need to know _ not the end of the matter? because we need to know whether— not the end of the matter? because we need to know whether cabinet . we need to know whether cabinet ministers using private e—mail to discuss sensitive and secret documents for business could breach the freedom of information act, the official secrecy act and legislation on data protection and the maintenance of public records. this is really serious. ministers using their private e—mails on government business, why would they do that if they're not hiding anything? they know the rules about this and they have breached them. i’m know the rules about this and they have breached them.— have breached them. i'm sure you know the statement _ have breached them. i'm sure you know the statement from the - know the statement from the department of health and social, saying "all the hse when understand the understandable to rant personal e—mail usage and only conduct government business through their departmental e—mail addresses." that has been the response so far. i has been the response so far. i don't accept that which is why i have written to ensure there is a full investigation into it, we know the home secretary broke the ministerial code, that the cabinet secretary did and has been found unlawful recently regarding contracts. i think this is releasing this because if the government, and at the heart of government, does not regard the official secrecy and security of billions of pounds of taxpayer money, we have a real problem in the country that's is why investigating. iloathe problem in the country that's is why investigating-— problem in the country that's is why investigating. who are you asking to investiuate investigating. who are you asking to investigate this? _ investigating. who are you asking to

investigation into what has happened. we need transparency now to know what has been going on because we know that borisjohnson as prime minister has no regard for law, no regard for the ministerial code, and it seems to be rotting from the head down, the rest of the cabinet feeling they don't have to follow the rules either. some people might say, what is important but the rules, it was a pandemic? but it's really serious because our grandchildren will be paying off the debt that we have improved and if we are being wasting billions through tory donors and friends is a really serious issue —— we have accrued. they govern by consent, they should be doing it on the half of the people are not friends and cronies.— the half of the people are not friends and cronies. what you say in

what you say in response to people who say - friends and cronies. what you say in response to people who say that. friends and cronies. what you say in| response to people who say that the vaccine

.,, for that? matt hancock was responsible _ for that? matt hancock was responsible for _ for that? matt hancock was responsible for thousands | for that? matt hancock was | responsible for thousands of unnecessary deaths by ceding a virus in our care homes and a lot of other issues so i take no lectures on that but i do commend the work of our nhs and the oxford astrazeneca vaccine we have in this country which shows that the people of this country and our nhs have been doing a superb job, paid tribute to them and hope everybody does get that vaccine as you have been saying which is really important. but also the government had to do their bit and follow their own laws and guidance which clearly they have not been doing notjust about see the affairs of the heart of government, it's about billions of government, it's about billions of pounds of our money being wasted and secretly put employment e—mails to avoid the scrutiny of the civil service and could have put our country at risk.— country at risk. you use your arivate country at risk. you use your private e-mail_ country at risk. you use your private e-mail for _ country at risk. you use your private e-mail for labour-

my gmail for other private affairs. what i would say is i'm not the minister i don't have access to taxpayer money and how it is used and therefore they know fully well that there are rules and laws that govern the way in which they conduct themselves because it protects our country from foreign interest that might want to hack into that information and do our country harm, and about the billions of pounds thatis and about the billions of pounds that is taxpayer money, not their money, not their personal cash account, it's about how we spend money that people have earned through working every single day and they deserve answers as to how that is being used. flan they deserve answers as to how that is being used-— is being used. can i ask you as well, is being used. can i ask you as well.

that but it does not negate the fact that the government have been using private e—mail addresses to conduct government business and that is really serious. yes, we should be investigating that but also investigating that but also investigating why government ministers are breaking the rules that could put national security at risk. i that could put national security at risk. :, :, that could

think they should be? at the moment infection rates are rising and we have a statement from the health secretary later, we have always said the government should follow the science and unfortunately, the prime minister chose not to do anything about the delta buried when he knew it was a risk to the country and we have ended up in a situation where unfortunately work were not able to unlock further —— delta variant point we want to see a locking bit as safe and quickly as possible but the government has to start following the science advice and start putting the country first. angela rayner, thank you for your time. we will be speaking to the justice secretary, robert buckland, in about five or six minutes. now for something completely different. now, it would have been the glastonbury festival this weekend but sadly britain's most famous music event was cancelled for the second year running due to covid—19. fans were instead encouraged to post images of themselves enjoying festival memories from home, including super fans felicity bevan and freddy cooney. the couple met in 2014 at a glastonbury themed event and next year, will tie the knot in a

pop—up clinic for mass covid vaccinations in north london in order to boost numbers. anyone over the age of 18, who has not yet received their first dose of vaccine is encouraged to do so either by booking an appointment or turning up at the stadium. latest government figures show over five million londoners have received their first dose and three and a half million have been double vaccinated. the wimbledon tennis championships are back and get underway later today at the all england club having been cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. many businesses in the area suffered due to the lack of footfall, but one owner is delighted to be welcoming visitors back to sw19 — despite the tournament operating at 50% capacity across the grounds. compared to last year, that was tumbleweed blowing down the high street. and it was upsetting and we felt sad and upset that, you know, something that we have perhaps taken for granted wasn't here. yes, its reduced capacity this year. yes, a lot of the players aren't allowed to stay local. but any tennis is better than no tennis at all. a teenage boy has been arrested following a fatal stabbing of a 26—year—old man who was killed at an illegal ravenear millwall�*s football ground on saturday evening. police found the victim in an industrial unit at stockholm road and he was pronounced dead at the scene. the met police has urged anyone who was at the music event to get in touch. new flexible rail season tickets for travel in and out of london can be used from today. rail passengers can buy eight tickets for travel between two named train stations to use any time over twenty eight days. the department for transport says the flexible ticket could potentially save two and three day—a—week commuters hundreds of pounds every year. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning apart from the dlr, which has severe delays. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a mostly dry start to the day. plenty of cloud. mild out there. the heavy rain from last night has cleared but there could still be a few showers lingering on and we will see that cloud thin and break as we head through the morning to give us some spells of brightness and sunshine. where we get the extra heat in the sunshine, there could also be thunderstorms developing in the second half of the day. watch out for some heavy downpours, maybe a rumble or two of thunder. top temperatures peaking between 21, maybe as high as 23 celsius with a light north—easterly wind. as we head through this evening, we'll still see showers rumble on for a time but they should gradually fade away to leave us with a mostly dry night to come. plenty of cloud, temperatures still in

and into the evening. wednesday, it is looking mostly dry. quite an unsettled week ahead generally i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. let's return to our top story. the new health secretary sajid javid is facing a very busy first week in thejob, after taking over from matt hancock, who resigned at the weekend. mr hancock stepped down after he was filmed in an embrace with his aide, which broke the government's covid social distancing rules. we're joined now by the justice secretary, robert buckland. hejoins us live on he joins us live on the hejoins us live on the programme this morning. thank you for being with us today. can we start with the resignation of mr hancock? these decisions are very important. there was quite a bit going round his head at the time. why did it take two days for him to stand down? bare at the time. why

of things were swirling around with a private life aspect has been deeply upsetting for those involved. also wider considerations about whether or not he should see through this crisis, bearing in mind he has been health secretary for the best part of three years. as the hours went by, it became increasingly clear to him that in order to allow full frankly those that are giving the messages to give than with clarity and with conviction, it was best that he stepped it down, bearing in mind the issues that undermined the credibility of his message. gigeh mind the issues that undermined the

that is a welcome exchange. i do think there's issues did need to be worked through. making a decision of such gravity cannot be made on the toss of a coin. all of us would agree about that and say the right decision was reached, after some deliberation, which i did not think was inappropriate in the circumstances. we was inappropriate in the circumstances.- was inappropriate in the

expected to follow and laid those out and talked about others who have broken the rules and regulations and why they should not be in the job any longer. surely it is clear—cut that the health secretary breaks his own regulations and yet the top men in government decided he should stay in the job until he himself resigns? i decided he should stay in the 'ob until he himself resigns?i until

the question has _ to do government business? ti9 question has been raised and it needs to be looked at carefully. it is sensible for government e—mails to be used. it means if data needs to be used. it means if data needs to be used. it means if data needs to be looked at later, it is in one place can easily retrievable, on one system. in an emergency system, there is no choice, you have not got

it not be available? if someone is on the road and they might not have the right it, i could imagine circumstances to justify the use of another e—mail. i think the important point is the principle is that government e—mails should be used. if that does happen, that particular piece of data needs to be retained and in a retrievable form so those who want to see it in future plan do that. i use

not use my personal phone to send a government e—mail. i can imagine in an emergency circumstance perhaps that would have to be done. the important thing is for it to be put onto the system so everybody knows what has happened and you have a trail of information that is easily retrievable. i personally think, using one system is the right and proper thing to do and i would expect others to do the same. it is not about being _ expect others to do the same. it is not about being retrievable movies are sensitive e—mails, potentially. all sorts of questions about who can look at these and

_ comes to sensitive material. also, on the sort of same _ comes to sensitive material. also, on the sort of same security i comes to sensitive material. also, | on the sort of same security issues and questions about the conduct of matt hancock, there are issues about the appointment of his aide. she worked as a communications director, said there were queries about her readiness to do the role at the department of health and social care. essentially it is appointing an old chum, getting a mistress to mark your homework and it is not acceptable. there are serious issues about the appointment of that person in particular and others employed by ministers to dojobs in in particular and others employed by ministers to do jobs in government. public appointments are quite rightly scrutinised carefully. they are a matter for the cabinet office. there is a well—known procedure involving many individuals. due process has to be followed. if there are any connections, they need to be declared. if a decision is made to appoint a person it is done in the fullest knowledge about a connection they may have to the minister. i would expect in this case that was followed. it certainly would not be the case for a minister to be able to pick up a phone and appoint somebody. that would be wholly inappropriate. i am sure in this case that was not safe. brute inappropriate. i am sure in this case that was not safe. we have s-oken case that was not safe. we have spoken about — case that was not safe. we have spoken about the _ case that was not safe. we have spoken about the security i case

thank you so much and we will see you later. it looks a bit drizzly! murky! it is six minutes to eight o'clock. nhs staff working throughout the pandemic will be recognised in a service of thanksgiving at st paul's cathedral on the 5th ofjuly. kathrine dawson caught covid when she was 32 weeks pregnant and had to deliver her baby early. she then spent eight days on a ventilator in hospital fighting for her life, and daughter ruby also contracted the virus. kathrine is speaking at the service and joins us now. iamjust i am just telling your story and it's quite something. shall

to hospital to get checked over and from there its noble —— i rang. it snowballed into something out of a soap, really, you can't imagine how crazy it went. getting the positive test, having to deliver my baby, and straight off to icu and then going on a ventilator. it was horrific but without the staff at the nhs being there, because we could not have our family, they stepped up and were like mine and ruby's surrogate family while we were in hospital. it was a horrible time but made better by having people around me that really supported me and helped me through it and held my hand. i

so she just went straight to the neonatal unit and i went straight to icu the icu team and the neonatal team arranged for an eye party —— ipad to be put in my room so i could have a live feed onto her cot, so it was very surreal that i had a baby but could not see her. just to make that connection. and a couple of days later i think it was a date later they said she had tested positive but they didn't know how she contracted it. whether she actually got it passed from me while she was still in my belly or she got it when she came out. it was a scary time but luckily she had no symptoms and it did not affect her at all. she went from strength to strength. by, went from strength to strength. a scary time for everyone including your husband stuart and her dad? yes, he was at home with the other two girls and he couldn't come and visit us, he couldn't go and see ruby, especially when she got coronavirus, he couldn't go in so the neonatal team had to step up and look after her and they did a fantasticjob. they did a little diaries and sent us all pictures so the girls made the connection with her and they were all amazing to. without them i don't think we would have made that special bond and been able to go home as easily. because being so poorly and having a baby, as any new mum knows, it is difficult itself.— as any new mum knows, it is difficult itself. what is

know that having family there you recover as well. spending time holding someone's hand and reassuring them, sometimes i had some really dark days in icu and there was always someone there to hold my hand and talk to me and make sure i understood everything and just had a chat with me to take my mind off what was happening. it was invaluable really and the same with ruby. they cared for her and we

welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today... work begins for the new health secretary after a dramatic weekend. sajid javid will update us later on when all remaining restrictions will be lifted in england. the department of health says it will investigate how footage of matt hancock in an embrace with his aide was leaked. the button battery warning from the mum of two—year—old harper lee, who tragically died after swallowing one at home. we actually found the remote without the button battery in. i turned it around and itjust came out. it wasn't even secure. good morning. welcome to leeds. from today you can start using a flexible train ticket, aimed at those working at home and the office. here is making a saving? we will look at whether you

has to self—isolate. you will notice the roof is on as well. outside it is cloudy and damp at wimbledon. likely to see showers through the course of the day. cloudy and wet today. in the north it is sunny, dry and warm. we will be back later in the programme. it's monday 28th june, our top story. after a dramatic weekend in westminster, the new health secretary, sajid javid, begins his first week in the job. he'll update mps later on plans for lifting the remaining coronavirus restrictions in england. the former chancellor says his priority is to see a return to normal as soon as possible. despite his appointment, labour says the issue surrounding matt hancock's resignation is far from over. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. good morning to you. all

was going to delay the road map for the releasing restrictions in england. a number of hospitalisations is still very low although the number of cases has gone up very rapidly. the government has pledged to get millions more people getting a second dose. that would suggest sajid javid will not bring anything forward and we're still looking at the 19th ofjuly for those restrictions. a service of thanksgiving will be held at st paul's cathedral to recognise the work of nhs staff who have been on the frontline throughout the pandemic. it will take place on 5thjuly ? the same date as the nhs in england was founded 73 years ago. simonjones reports. applause and cheering. emotional tributes to nhs workers, who've risen to the challenge of the coronavirus crisis. this was clap for carers, people coming out on their doorsteps near the start of the pandemic to thank doctors, nurses and health staff who've made such a difference. now, st paul's cathedral is set to host a socially—distanced service on the 73rd anniversary of the foundation of the nhs. among those invited are mae parsons, who administered the first covid vaccine in the world outside of a trial to margaret keenan. and catherine dawson, who credits doctors with saving the life of her and her baby. catherine was 32 weeks pregnant when she contracted covid, and had to spend eight days on a ventilator. also present will be some of the doctors who helped treat the first coronavirus patients in the uk. i will be there with colleagues, and we will be remembering what's been going on. and so all of that will be quite an emotional experience. we've all been at times very emotional, whether it's tiredness, whether it was fatigue, whether it was just personal issues. all of this has affected us over the last 18 months. the nhs in england has provided hospital treatment for around 400,000 seriously ill covid patients. there have been challenges with equipment, with the toll the pandemic has taken on staff. there will be more issues ahead, but the simple service will provide a moment to take stock and to hope for better times. —— st paul's service. simon jones, bbc news. around 150 people are still missing, four days after the collapse of a i2—storey apartment block in florida. officials say the death toll from the disaster has risen to nine. rescuers are using sniffer dogs and sonar to search for survivors, but hopes of finding anyone alive continue to fade. will grant reports from miami. these things aren't supposed to happen in america. the infrastructure of the richest country in the world, in one of its richest cities, is meant to be solid and reliable. but when the 12 storeys of champlain towers collapsed, almost 160 residents disappeared beneath the rubble in seconds. only a handful have been found. one victim passed away in the hospital, and we've recovered eight more victims on site. so i am confirming today that the death toll is at nine. theirfamilies can now only pray for a miracle. at the local church, the priest read the list of parishioners missing since the collapse. a quiet seaside community now ripped apart. yet while hope remains, the families and survivors are clinging to it. one churchgoer�*s family had a miraculous escape, and are struggling to comprehend how their small apartment is still standing. i have a lot of survivor's guilt on this. you know, why me and why not my neighbour from 604? she was like a lovely lady, you know? and i hope to god that they're going to find somebody. but, man, you know, if you saw what i saw... nothingness. you know, you go over there and you see, like, you know, all the rubble, how can somebody survive that? there is little for the families to do but continue to wait for information. many have said that they do truly believe they could still be reunited with their relatives. others have now accepted the grim fact that the chances they survived are very slim indeed. william sanchez is waiting to hear about his aunt and uncle, but is realistic about their prospects. obviously, we had a lot more hope the first, second day, but at this point, we're all talking about it amongst us in the family, and we're not expecting much. but then again, we're not god, nor any form of higher power, and we're not the ones who make the decisions. so we're waiting until we really have concrete evidence that it's their bodies that are there. as the work goes on, more than 150 people are still to be found. the moment this community fears next is hearing that this has moved from a search and rescue operation to one of search and recovery. will grant, bbc news, miami. more on that later in the programme. carol is at wimbledon for us this morning with the weather. she is inside now but had a big umbrella earlier. we arejust in time to see the ground staff taking the cover of centre court. it is pretty wet outside. nasty was the time wimbledon was cancelled for three quarters of a century due to coronavirus. there is no queue outside and it is part of the government's event research programme allowing the event to begin with a 50% capacity, rising to 100% for the finals weekend. it is murky outside. the forecast for wimbledon today is one of showers. it is possible there will be dry spells in between but the shamardal be on and off during the day. some could be heavy and potentially thundery with temperatures getting up thundery with temperatures getting up to 20 degrees. in the south we are looking at a fair bit of cloud and rain. in the north, drier, sunnier and warmer. the cloud and rain we currently have is a touch, only to be replaced by further showers. as we move north, back into the sunshine. temperatures today could get into the high teens or low 20s in the sunshine. this evening and overnight to still have cloud and overnight to still have cloud and chariot breaks of rain across england wales. but cumbria northern ireland and scotland, clear skies. not a cold night whichever way you look at it. tomorrow draw a line from wales to the wash and all points south, cloudy with showers. on and off. some of those could be heavy and thundery. into northern england and scotland and northern ireland we are looking at sunshine. temperatures again getting up to potentially 24 degrees. that far north of scotland and northern ireland prone to little more clout at times. just behind me now, they are about to go and having a pause as a talk amongst each other working out what to do. in the next few seconds or so hopefully they will be off. this will be the first time we have seen tentacle and cupboard for the start of the wimbledon championships. —— centre court uncovered. it always looks so beautifully manicured at this stage. at the end of the fortnight quite different. very well trampled on and very well used. no pressure on these guys. can you just hurry up? that is what we are waiting for. that is the moment. it is like velvet, isn't it? really nice stock it is so neat and perfectly done every time. all about teamwork as well. thank you. that was well filled. see you later. last month, two—year—old harper—lee fanthorpe died in hospital after swallowing a button battery from a remote control at home. now, just five weeks after her death, harper—lee's mum, stacy, and sisterjamie—leigh have chosen to speak to us about the dangers these batteries pose to children. a warning that you may find some of phil mackie's report upsetting. harper—lee fanthorpe was a typical bright, curious, effervescent, happy two—year—old. she loved to dance, didn't she? she really loved to dance. the best thing she listened to is, she loved rave music, rave and dance music! anything else, she wouldn't dance to! she should always give a little fist pump. five weeks ago, her older sister was looking after her and she suddenly became ill. her head just went backwards. then she sat back up and blood came out. so i rang an ambulance straightaway. it must have been very frightening for you? yeah. she wasn't responding and they told me to put her on her side. so she could still breathe and she just went wheezy and her eyesjust closed and she couldn't talk back to me. it was like she wasn't there. no—one knew that she had swallowed a tiny button battery, and the acid was burning through a major artery. she had to have two litres blood transfusion. she left surgery. she'd still got my phone, she was still talking. the last thing she ever said to me was, "mummy, i need you." i told her i loved her. that is the last time i saw her. halfway through surgery, a surgeon came out and asked if she had swallowed anything. not that i knew. that is when they told me they thought she had swallowed a button battery. we went to children's intensive care where we were waiting for more news. hejust said, "i am sorry." that is what i could remember. i canjust remember that in a loud scream out, shouting, "no." she has left a very big hole. very. it's five weeks and it's been absolute torture. i feel so lost. everywhere i went, she'd follow. if i got in the bath, she used tojump in fully clothed and say, "my bath!" the house is just so quiet, isn't it? all from a button battery that we didn't know dangers of. and i don't think anybody really knows the dangers. no. and when you realised what had happened, what did you then think about those batteries, and particularly about the remote control in this instance? the way they are relatively easily accessible for little children? and we actually found the remote without the button battery in. and so i turned it around and itjust came out. it wasn't even secure. there was no lock. there was no little thing you had to push to get it out. itjust slid out. harper—lee's granddad has built a memorial at the bottom of the garden. the family really hopes that by talking about it, other lives will be saved. it's about awareness. if i can save one child, or a hundred, then i've promised my baby i've done what i've done. they need to be more secure. parents need to check. just check, check, check. toys, they are in everything, children's books. for now, the campaign is keeping them going. just a few weeks after burying harper—lee, their emotions are still raw. phil mackie, bbc news, stoke—on—trent. desperately sad. thank you to harper—lee's family for choosing to share their story with us so they could raise awareness of the dangers of button batteries. we'rejoined now by dr bimal mehta, emergency department paediatrician at alder hey children's hospital. thank you for spending some time with us today. a heartbreaking story for harper—lee's family to talk us through what happened to their daughter so how common are cases like this and what

it does depend on the size of the battery, how fresh it is and how long it has been in the but even old and disused batteries can cause significant injury in the very short space of time. is it cause

if you see a j child swallowing a battery from one of the things we think can help it if you give your child some honey. a couple of teaspoons of honey every ten minutes while you're getting them into the emergency department can help coat the battery and hopefully slow down the damage that it causes. get your child to a&e so we can do an x—ray and look for evidence of the battery and knowing where it is can help us decide what to do next. pleased don't try to make your child vomit and bring it up make your child vomit and bring it up because they might choke and it might make it worse. if you

health professionals we need to think about it so if your child is vomiting blood, indicating pain having difficulty swallowing, those are some of the science there might be a battery there, particularly in young kids and we would urge you to seek medical help, ring 111 or go to an emergency department and share your concerns. , ., , y emergency department and share your concerns. , ., ,

they're designed to give passengers more flexible options. nina's got the details from leeds station this morning. i have an good morning from leeds. you can see behind me and looking around the station, that human traffic in this city, one of the biggest in the north, is starting to pick up compared to a few months ago but we are still nowhere near pre—pandemic levels partly because of the work from home instruction but also because this was a trend we were already seeing, more people deciding to do some work from the office and some from within their own home and that is why these flexible tickets have been introduced to. i can talk you through how they work. you get eight tickets out of 28 days on the flexible ticket instead of unlimited access. that could work out well if you're mixing your working pattern. you calculate your savings online, it is a paperless system, and you put it on your smartphone or travel card so you would need one of those. last year saw the lowest rail passenger numbers since 1872, perhaps unsurprisingly, but they hope this is a way of encouraging us back onto the trains because it's not happening anywhere near pre—pandemic levels yet. the prediction is it could save you up to £350 every year but what we're hearing from commuters is it's not necessarily working out for them. first of all because eight trips in daysis first of all because eight trips in days is not that many, if you wanted to go into town at the weekend or you were called in to an emergency meeting, you have to buy on the day to get and it could get expensive and they are also not necessarily priced at a number divisible by the number of days in a months if that makes sense so put date you might be paying more. we spoke to bridget in west sussex who was looking forward to this as she commutes into london. when i heard about the tickets i thought— when i heard about the tickets i thought it was a really good idea and i_ thought it was a really good
