israel says the offer doesn't meet its key demands, but it will negotiate. it comes after 100,000 palestinians were told to leave the southern city of rafah ahead of an anticipated ground offensive. refugees were told to move to what israel called a humanitarian zone near khan younis — an area gazans say is already overcrowded. 0ur reporter vincent mcaviney has more. overnight, israel conducted what it described as targeted strikes against hamas in eastern rafah. the major ground operation anticipated for several weeks has not materialised. late last night, the israeli government deployed a negotiating delegation to egypt that it said would explore reaching an agreement under conditions acceptable to israel. earlier in the day, there had been a jubilant mood in gaza after hamas accepted a ceasefire proposal being brokered by qatari and egyptian mediators. the details of the deal

are still not confirmed, but it's thought to include the release of all hostages in return for palestinian prisoners and free movement in the gaza strip. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has already declared the proposed deal to be short of expectations. in tel aviv, the families of those abducted on october 7th once again took to the streets. they said they were pleased the delegation had quickly been dispatched by their government, but demanded they not return until an agreement is signed for the return of all hostages. we expect from the israeli government to take this deal to save all the remaining hostages who are still alive. but after benjamin netanyahu pledged the total destruction of hamas, a ceasefire deal that fails to accomplish that risks breaking israel's wartime coalition government. so for the idf,

the fighting continues. translation: we examine every proposal very seriously, _ and we review every possibility on the issue of negotiations and the return of the hostages to their homes as quickly as possible, and as a central task. at the same time, we carry on with our operations in the gaza strip, and will continue to do so _ in washington, the biden administration has been publicly warning israel against an incursion into rafah. they've described the talks as being at a critical and highly sensitive stage. this six months out from an election, president biden will be applying maximum pressure on both sides to help his chances. the people of rafah were awoken yesterday to leaflets warning them to evacuate. but with an estimated 1.4 million internally displaced palestinians struggling to survive in the city with little food and poor conditions, for most, this wasn't possible.

they can only hope the negotiations over the border in egypt might finally bring them some peace. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. watching closely this morning for any developments, and we will be speaking to our correspondent yolande knell who is injerusalem. the defence secretary, grant shapps, is due to update mps in the house of commons today after personal data of serving members of the uk armed forces was hacked on a third—party payroll system. it's not known who is behind the breach, or what the data may be used for. our political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster. henry, what more do we know about the breach? good morning, sally. we don't know an awful lot at this stage, but what we do know is pretty serious indeed. it is understood there was a breach of the armed forces payroll system, affecting perhaps of people, and on

that system, nothing operational, nothing to do with ministry of defence activities. instead, personal details, what is being described as hmrc style details of serving members of the armed forces, but also potentially some veterans too. that payroll system was operated by a subcontractor rather than the ministry of defence. it's been turned off now, and it's understood the ministry of defence is launching an investigation. we are going to hearfrom grant shapps, the defence secretary, speaking about this in the house of commons later, because clearly this is pretty serious. i think there are some questions that still arise, most obviously who was behind it. was it a hostile state? what kind of third party, what might they be able to do with this information and what might they want from it? i'm not expecting grant shapps or the government later to identify the culprit, but they will come under pressure from mps who will want to

know who they think the culprit is. and also more generally, why was this data on a subcontractor�*s system, was that adequate, what were the cyber security arrangements in place? did the government to enough to supervise those arrangements and ensure that something like this couldn't happen? lots of questions, not at this stage a lot of answers, but the government is going to be pushed for them seoane. henry, thank you very much. at least four people have died following the collapse of a building in south africa. more than 20 people have been removed from the rubble of the multi—storey construction site in george, on south africa's western cape. reports suggest as many as 51 people are unaccounted for. the cause of the collapse remains unknown. the mother of a man who was killed in the manchester arena bombing will begin a 200—mile walk from the venue to downing street today to demand tighter security against terrorism in public places. figen murray is calling for the introduction of martyn's law, named after her son martyn hett, which would require

venues and local authorities in the uk to have training and plans in place to deal with terror attacks. thousands of properties are still without water today — six days after a burst main disrupted supplies in east sussex. southern water says repairs are now complete and most supplies have been restored, but up to 2,000 properties in parts of st helen's and st helen's wood are yet to see their water supply return. a fresh series of rail strikes is under way in the long—running pay dispute between the train drivers' union aslef and i6 train companies. there will be no trains running at all in some areas over the next three days. here's our transport correspondent katy austin. another wave of industrial action has begun, nearly 22 months after these strikes by train drivers started. i don't understand how it's not been resolved by this point, to be honest. you know, i kind of used to follow

the issue up until a point, and then it feels like it's reached a stalemate. i don't know, it's a bit easier now we've got work from home, so that side of that sort of things makes life a lot easier, i suppose. so actually it doesn't affect you as much as it might have done in years gone by? not too much. an overtime ban at all 16 train companies involved in the dispute started yesterday and runs until saturday. that could mean short—notice cancellations. on top of that, there are strikes at all these operators today, mainly affecting the south of england. a different list of operators are affected by strike action tomorrow, and another different list on thursday. some operators will run no trains on strike days, while others will have limited timetables, with services starting later and finishing earlier than usual. so are these strikes just to keep the profile up of the dispute, or are you actually expecting them to achieve anything? we want a resolution.

did i expect this would be going on 22 months? no, ididn't. will it take another 22 months? well, if it does, it does. but this won't go away until somebody sits down with us and resolves to pay rise for �*22 and �*23. the government has sign—off on any deal that's put forward. train companies' representatives have invited the union to have informal discussions to see if they can resume formal talks. the main point of disagreement over this period has been over working conditions, and we're hoping that this letter could help dislodge these talks and just move us into a position where we find some common ground. if that is the case, then potentially we could get back around the negotiating table and finally find a solution. whether that eventually leads to a settlement or not, this week's action is set to go ahead. katy austin, bbc news. a safety issue has prevented the launch of boeing's starliner spaceship just hours before it was due to blast off to the international space station. the mission, which has been delayed for years, was due to be the second privately—operated craft to send nasa astronauts

to the space station, after elon musk�*s spacex. two astronauts were strapped into their seats preparing for lift off when the call for a scrub came following concerns from engineers. a scrub? that sounds really technical. let'sjust a scrub? that sounds really technical. let's just stop everything. it is 11 minutes past six. a—listers have hit the green carpet with a flourish at this year's garden—inspired met gala. the prestigious fashion event, held in new york, welcomed celebrities who were invited to show off their best floral outfits. you should have warned that today, sally! this is one of my favourite moments of the year, seeing these outfits. brooklyn beckham is there.

and raye. shall we go next year? it is only £50,000 a ticket. like you are kidding?! is only £50,000 a ticket. like you are kidding? i assumed they were to go. i assume some are sponsored to go. i assume some are sponsored to go. i assume some are sponsored to go. i wonder what matt is modelling for us this morning. iam i am modelling something a little bit more optimistic. hope you had a good weekend. through this coming week there will be a lot more in the way of drier weather around, especially in areas that have seen the wettest conditions recently, and some sunshine too as well. not completely dry, they will be one or two exceptions. always the case with our weather. two exceptions. always the case with ourweather. if two exceptions. always the case with our weather. if you are about to step out the door, not too chilly this morning, around 9—1! for the next hour. a few splashes of rain just clearing away from kent, light

showers across the north—east in some parts of eastern scotland, but for the vast majority, a dry start. sunny spells, a few showers possible later especially across parts of wales, the west midlands, down towards the south—west. many will avoid them altogether, and most of you get through your tuesday on a dry note. pleasant enough in the sunshine. a little bit cooler across parts of scotland. where you have sunshine today, pollen levels will be on the rise after that wet weekend, and also of note, the sun is getting particularly strong now, so high uv levels if you are outdoors. in tonight, we start with clear skies, sea fog will be rolling in around england, and temperatures around 7—10, but here is that extra

dose of optimism you need to get through the coming week. a lot of dry weather to come, isolated showers and temperatures on the rise. more details in half an hour. thank you, see you later. here on breakfast we've followed the story of former rugby league legend rob burrow and his family following his diagnosis with motor neurone disease in 2019. rob's wife lindsey is now his full—time carer, mum to their three young children and a physiotherapist for the nhs. now lindsey is sharing her own experiences to help raise awareness of the millions of unpaid carers across the uk. graham satchell has their story. looks like it's a nice day today. did you sleep all right? let me clean your teeth, rob. the day starts early for lindsey burrow. let's pop your collar on. since her husband rob's diagnosis with motor neurone disease,

she's become his full—time carer. next on the list, getting breakfast ready for her three children. got some clothes on? yep, ok. upstairs, macy and maya are up and dressed. good morning. morning. jackson needs a bit more persuading. this there you go. lindsey is constantly juggling. she's a mum, a physiotherapist for the nhs, a wife and a full—time carer. have you still got that wipe, or did you chuck it? getting the children to school is just the start of a busy day that is focused primarily around caring for her husband. commentator: burrow. dancing steps by him. and off he goes! rob burrow was a rugby league legend. he won title after title with the leeds rhinos. he was diagnosed with mnd in 2019. up we go. big stand. there we go, well done.

for me, i think it'sjust the most devastating, cruel disease. one, two, three. we had three beautiful children. rob was just starting his career in coaching, having had a successful career playing rugby, i was doing well in my profession. so life was pretty perfect. so to get that diagnosis, yeah, it turned our world upside down. lindsey has become responsible for every bit of rob's care. she feeds him, washes him, clothes him, gives him his medication. so because rob's muscles don't work, it's really difficult. so once he's kind of got the tablets in his mouth, to actually get the cup in for him to take the tablets is quite tricky. but we usually manage, don't we? where there's a will, there's a way. there we go. there's a small army of people in the country doing what lindsey does, unpaid carers struggling every day in the most difficult of circumstances. these carers are basically

keeping the country going. you know, £162 billion is the equivalent of a second nhs service. and the sacrifices that i think people have to make and the selflessness of people that are carers, you know, always kind of having to put other people before yourself and putting other people's... it can be quite a lonely and dark place at times. so rob goes to his mum and dads twice a week. so he goes when i work on a tuesday, and on a thursday as well. so they're pivotal, really, in terms of me being able to go to work. so i'm very fortunate that they're hands—on with with rob's care. lindsey is dropping rob at his mum and dads. hello. kev�*s going to come and see rob this afternoon. irene is a key part of the machinery of care. is that 0k?

is that a no? do you want to be sat up more? wait a minute, then, linds. do you want to be sat back, shuffled back a bit more...? yes, shuffe him back a bit more. one, two, three, three. up we go. that's it. that looks better. 0k, rob. lindsey has come to meet kalvinder, who cares for her dad. hi, is it kalvinder? hello. thank you. this is my dad. this is at my graduation. kalvinder�*s dad has dementia. caring for him has become a full—timejob. how has it changed you? what challenges do you face? i don't have a life. people suffer, families suffer. it takes out on them. it takes it out on them mentally, physically, you name it. - financially as well, you know? and it hurts. all aspects of it hurt. you know, it's not nice.

what impact has being a carer had on you and your health? emotionally? sorry... are you ok? yeah. um... i don't see my children or my grandchildren. l i think that's the hardest part. i do it because i want to do it. i do it because i love him. it hits home. when you see people that are just, you know, financially they're struggling, emotionally, physically, you know, these people are worn out. it's really... it pulls on your heartstrings. it's heartbreaking to see. baby's first. this is her first best birthday party. there she is. lindsey's mum and dad looking at baby photos of their daughter. happy memories, eh? she was a lovely little girl. all the way through life, she's been... i she's done well, and... perfect.

sharon and graham are also doing what they can to help. i can honestly say, living within this area, if love could have cured rob then he would have been cured. because there's been so much love. we have so much love and laughter, don't we? and that's what we continue to do. very proud of her, very proud. but very sad that this has happened to her, really, because she's just a young girl, isn't she? you just got a bit of sleep, i think. lindsey is writing a book about her experience as a carer. she says if she can help one person by telling her story, it's worth it. rob uses a special computer called an eye gaze to help him talk. you could not put into words how grateful i am to have met lindsey. i'm trying not to be soppy, but some of the things that lindsey does for me is proof that i have found my one and only. i played with some strong players in my rugby career, but no one is as strong a personality than lindsey. i hope her book will inspire people to be more like her. what a world that would be.

what is it that keeps me going? i have three beautiful children. i have a husband who i adore and i think the world of, and he is battling a life—limiting disease. the fact that he is so positive, and the fact that he is an inspiration to all of us, and i think the message, the key message is to live each day to its fullest and to enjoy life. and that's. .. since rob's diagnosis, we've, you know, we've tried to show that, you know, despite the situation, there's still reason to smile. what an incredible woman she is. what she wants to do is highlight the work that lots of carers doing their own homes, looking after family members and friends, but also to try and look on the bright side sometimes, like she wants to, to try and stay positive in the face of all that pressure and the difficult time you are in, because i she says, that is what rob has taught her to do.

we'll speak more on the issue of unpaid carers just after eight with emily holzhausen from carers uk. it is just after 20 past six on tuesday morning. let's take a look at today's papers. the front pages are largely dominated by the ongoing israel—gaza war. the guardian leads on israeli air strikes starting in the southern gazan city of rafah, despite increasing pressure for a ceasefire. the times reports that researchers have identified a genetic trait that means a person is almost guaranted to get alzheimer's. the paper says the discovery could pave the way for better targeted treatment and earlier diagnosis, including genetic testing. the telegraph features data from lloyds bank, which has found that facebook and instagram are the starting point for one in 50 crimes. it comes amid calls for social media sites to do more to protect its consumers.

and we will have a special edition of the programme tomorrow morning looking at social media, especially in relation to younger people. and the daily express shows this image on its front page from a not—so—sunny day on brighton beach yesterday. the paper calls it a "typical" bank holiday wash—out and says that brollies were seen on both bournemouth and brighton beaches yesterday. and i think quite a few other places as well. but it was quite mixed, some places had a lot of nice sunshine. matt will update us. it looks like this weekend, typically, the not bank holiday one, is better. we will get precise details on this. the sun have got a list of businesses with puns as names. there was a fish and chip shop near me called cod almighty. we have a

barber called barbra streisand. a waste clearance called lord of the bins. and this is the winner, a curry house in manchester which is called tikka chance on me. there was a hairdresser near me called curl up and dye. what is in a name? we are talking about names, and this is your favourite subject this morning. how do you feel about the use of apostrophes? well, one council in england has decided to ban them altogether after they say they're confusing computer systems. north yorkshire council say all new street signs will be produced without the piece

of punctuation, but there's mixed feelings among residents. one unhappy local took matters into their own hands, drawing the correct grammar back on with permanent marker. what do you think to not using apostrophes? no, i don't like it. i think you should use apostrophes. would you put them back on? yes. did you put it back on? no, definitely not! you're definitely not the grammar guru? definitely not me. trying to teach children the basics of grammar and punctuation, and then not to have it presented properly when they're out and about. yeah. bring back the apostrophe! it doesn't matter, because it's| the same, like, pronunciation. yeah? and then right now, when i tell people my home address - or what the road i am on, for me, myself, i feel- like it's the same. if we start losing things like that, then everything goes downhill, doesn't it? signs should contain proper language. so if all these street signs are going to change, what would you say about that? if you could sum it up

to north yorkshire council, what would you say to them? i'd say replace them exactly as they were. do you know what this reminds me of? this is going to drive you mad, isn't it? there was a story i did in bristol about a man who called himself the grammar vigilante. he went out at night under cover of darkness correcting signs. there we go. he did that kind of thing. i think an apostrophe where it shouldn't be is more annoying than none at all. and he had plastic laminate, he mash it to the colour and got rid of them. nina is obsessed, shejust message me, i'm so livid about the lack of respect for the apostrophe.

are you bothered? maybe you think it doesn't matter any more. maybe that is what the council are saying, it doesn't make much difference. do let us know if you think the world needs to keep its apostrophes. i'm looking forward to all of our responses on this this morning, because i'm imagining a lot of you have strong opinions on this. there are ways to contact us on your screen now. if you have a picture, tell us what it was and where you are. we'll be discussing this more at ten to eight with wordsmith susie dent. she's not going to be happy, is she? she's not going to be happy, is she? she always happy! we will be checking all your messages this morning for the correct punctuation and marking them out of ten! that willjust bejon. it is fine, honestly. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc

london, i'm tolu adeoye. sadiq khan will start his third term as london's mayor today, with a pledge to make the capital the best city in the world to grow up in. he beat conservative rival susan hall in the mayoral election, with the result announced at city hall on saturday afternoon. later today he will take the declaration of office and will also commit to keeping london at the "forefront of climate action". rail passengers are being warned to check before they travel, as strike action is affecting a number of services this morning including on thameslink, southeastern, southern and gatwick express. drivers from the aslef union are walking out in a row over pay and conditions, with rail companies warning there will be very limited services today. work to dig up the pitch at bromley football club's stadium is due to begin this morning, after the team's dramatic promotion to the english football league on sunday. according to efl rules, teams must play on grass, so the artificial turf at hayes lane stadium needs to be replaced. but the chairman says it

won't be going to waste. it's not about rolling that up and laying the grass. that artificial surface is used full—time through the week across our community. so we have a piece of land behind the football ground, which we will now lay the artificial surface on there — so that we still give the access to the community — and then we sow the grass seeds on the main pitch for the football team. more teenagers are taking up fishing, with a 23% rise in the number of young people applying forjunior licences year on year, with around 50,000 issued. the charity get hooked on fishing runs sessions for young people. sophie's been fishing since she was little, and says there are lots of benefits. you're in nature, which is already quite nice, and you can, like, forgetabout, like, everything. you can forget about school, work, problems. and it's quite nice. let's take a look at the tubes now.

weather now, with kate. good morning. there's a fair amount of mist around first thing this morning, but that will lift to a fine, largely dry day and, at last, the temperature is starting to feel a little bit warmer. any remnants of yesterday's front down in the southeast will clear to sunshine. we'll see some patchy cloud bubbling up, which brings the risk of an isolated shower, but largely dry for most, and temperatures today in that sunshine feeling warm at 20 celsius. overnight, the cloud and any showers will clear, so some clear spells to start with, nut then the cloud will start to edge in from the east, turning quite murky by dawn tomorrow. minimum temperature, six celsius. now, high pressure is still in charge for tomorrow and i guess it could be quite a cloudy, grey start, but that cloud's going to thin and break, we'll see any mist lift, and we'll get a day of sunshine. temperatures tomorrow again getting up to around 21 celsius, sojust sneaking up a little higher. now that high pressure is going to stay with us through this week, so settled conditions throughout — largely dry and fine, some sunshine — and temperatures

by the end of the week at 23 celsius. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. plenty more on our website. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. if you've been trying to travel out and about this bank holiday weekend, you might have found some problems on the railways in england. that's because aslef — the train drivers' union — has begun a week of industrial action because of a pay dispute. nina has the details. good morning. good morning. deja vu, good morning. good morning. de'a vu, been here before i good morning. good morning. de'a vu, been here before many * good morning. good morning. de'a vu, been here before many times. h good morning. good morning. deja vu, been here before many times. rolling. been here before many times. rolling onto almost a couple of years now, this dispute between train drivers and their employers. you would be forgiven for thinking it was all resolved last year, and part of it

did. a reminder of where we are up to. pay agreements have been sorted with the rmt union. it represents workers like guards and station staff. but it's drivers under the aslef union yet to reach a deal. let's take a look at how it might affect you. this week, expect two types of industrial action. firstly, a flat refusal to work overtime for union members. that started yesterday and will go on until saturday. that is the orange line. but then there are more operator specific strikes across the week. today, these are the operators affected. you can see they mostly serve the south east, and commuter services in and out of london. tomorrow, most of the services affected are these long—distance intercityjourneys — including the west coast and midland main lines. thursday, it's the east coast mainlines and in the north of england facing disruption under these providers.

this is a dispute that has been rattling on for almost two years. so why are they striking? here's travel journalist simon calder. we're now into a third summer of strikes by train drivers belonging to the aslef union. at the heart, it's all about pay and working arrangements. the union says, "yeah, we — in some cases — haven't had a pay rise for five years. we want a decent no—strings increase, and then we can talk about maybe changing some working arrangements." a government which ultimately is going to be signing off any agreement says, "look, you can have a modest increase, but that is contingent on making large changes to the way you work." caught in the middle of this — the passenger. so what should you do if you need to travel this week? obviously check with your rail company before you travel, and follow the latest guidance online. tickets should be accepted on other

services, but if you decide not to travel because of strikes and want a refund, it'll depend on the ticket you have — so, again, worth checking. if your plan is to cross your fingers and hope it will all be ok, don't count on it. here's ourfriend simon again. we're now pretty settled into the pattern of what happens during train drivers' industrial action. there's a long overtime ban — which, because of the staff shortage in a number of train operators, means you're going to see cancellations right through the week. and on top of that, you've got rolling strikes which are really aiming at disrupting as many journeys as possible for minimum loss of pay. how will this end? aslef say that they've not had any formal negotiations on a pay offer since april last year. but the rail delivery group — which represents train companies — says they've written to union bosses asking for informal talks in the hope of finding common ground. ultimately, the government has final sign—off on any deal, and it says the pay offer it's already made would take

train drivers' average salaries up to £65,000 — almost twice the uk average. so here we are in the familiar triangle of demands, not knowing where it will end, and we're keen to get your thoughts. perhaps you sympathise with the drivers, who feel they have to put their foot down. maybe you're fed up with not being able to get to work. or perhaps you work from home more, so feel the drivers aren't doing themselves any favours. get in touch in all the usual ways. sorry, there is no room in the inbox. we are filling up with punctuation problems. quite right, to! out hundreds _ punctuation problems. quite right, to! out hundreds and _ punctuation problems. quite right, to! out hundreds and hundreds - punctuation problems. quite right, to! out hundreds and hundreds of| to! out hundreds and hundreds of messaues to! out hundreds and hundreds of messages coming _ to! out hundreds and hundreds of messages coming in _ to! out hundreds and hundreds of messages coming in about - messages coming in about apostrophes. i messages coming in about apostrophes.— messages coming in about a--ostrohes. . , , apostrophes. i am slightly scared. we 'ust apostrophes. i am slightly scared. we just have _ apostrophes. i am slightly scared. we just have to — apostrophes. i am slightly scared. we just have to read _ apostrophes. i am slightly scared. we just have to read it. _ apostrophes. i am slightly scared. we just have to read it. time - apostrophes. i am slightly scared. we just have to read it. time for. apostrophes. i am slightly scared. we just have to read it. time for a

on their way down — but, you know, they've remortgaged. .. you know, sacrificed their whole lives to get me here. this wasn't the final anyone had predicted, nor one that will be remembered for its quality. as the nerves grew on the final stretch, so the pockets grew smaller. the frame—winning moments that will be remembered will be ones like these. john virgo: where's his plant going? where's the plant going? surely not! jakjones had his fair share of those, as well. a fly on the yellow was perhaps a lucky charm. the welsh qualifier had been 7—0 down at the start of this final — he cut that to three frames in the final session, but it was a comeback too far. he's still £200,000 richer, and he'sjumped up to 14th in the world rankings. it's a life—changing situation here now because you're vaulting ijust thought i just thought if

and this will only add to the debeate around manager and this will only add to the debate around manager erik ten hag's future. someone who is on the move is west ham manager david moyes — a year after winning the club's first major trophy for 43 years. he'll leave the club at the end of the season. after months of speculation and a string of heavy defeats, he'll take charge ofjust two more matches, having guided west ham to that memorable europa conference league trophy win last season. the bbc understands replacing him will be this man — julen lopetegui — who has previously managed wolves, real madrid and the spanish national team. one of the stories of the weekend — the celebrations have been continuing as ipswich town marked their return to the big time with a open—top bus parade. the players and fans were out in force after completing remarkable back—to—back promotions under manager kieran mckenna, making it back to the top flight with victory over huddersfield at portman road on saturday.

and some of those players perhaps feeling a little worse for wear this morning — and i'm sure they're not the only ones. it's amazing. we've not been in the premiership for 22 years, so it's a once—in—a—lifetime. possibly! i don't know! brilliant, brilliant, yeah. we got here about 10:30... yeah? yeah, so it's brilliant. to see it like this again. ah, it means the world. it means the world. i think the atmosphere today is great, and it has been- for the last couple of seasons. i'm a bit nervous because they're going to be going against some very good teams. love that, getting in early, you don't want to miss a moment, do you? the title race in the scottish women's premier league could go all the way to the last game. celtic are still top, ahead of rangers on goal difference after the sides drew 0—0. mia mcaulay almost nicked it for rangers just before full time — they are hunting a domestic treble this season. celtic of course will want to stop them.

britain's geraint thomas and hot favourite tadej pogacar gave it a real go at the giro d'italia yesterday but both came up just short on stage three. here they are — pogacar in the pink and thomas just behind — opening up a sizable gap at the front. but they were caught just over 200 metres from the line, the sprinters coming through in a frantic finish. belgian tim merlierjust edged it. pogacar leads thomas by 46 seconds in the overall standings. and tom daley will compete at his fifth olympics this summer in paris, after his place in team gb�*s diving squad was confirmed. he took time away from the sport after winning gold alongside matty lee at the last games in tokyo, but he'll take part in the same event — the 10—metre synchro — with noah williams. daley chose to return after his son robbie said he wanted to see his father compete

at an olympics. williams, his team mate, said no—one else in the world could take two years out and be as good as he is. the pair won gold at a world cup event in march. he would think, might be well placed to potentially do something memorable in paris this summer. that would be an — memorable in paris this summer. “mat would be an emotional moment, wouldn't it?— would be an emotional moment, wouldn'tit? ~ ., �* wouldn't it? wouldn't it? make you feel old when _ wouldn't it? wouldn't it? make you feel old when you _ wouldn't it? wouldn't it? make you feel old when you think— wouldn't it? wouldn't it? make you feel old when you think he - wouldn't it? wouldn't it? make you feel old when you think he went. wouldn't it? wouldn't it? make you feel old when you think he went to | feel old when you think he went to his first olympic sat 1a and is now the only diver ever... fih his first olympic sat 14 and is now the only diver ever. . ._ his first olympic sat 14 and is now the only diver ever... oh no, let's not think— the only diver ever... oh no, let's not think about _ the only diver ever... oh no, let's not think about that. _ the only diver ever... oh no, let's not think about that. he - the only diver ever... oh no, let's not think about that. he was - the only diver ever... oh no, let's not think about that. he was very | not think about that. he was very young. not think about that. he was very ounu. . ., ~ , not think about that. he was very oun , ., ., " , ., young. that makes me feel even older because i think — young. that makes me feel even older because i think i've _ young. that makes me feel even older because i think i've reported _ young. that makes me feel even older because i think i've reported on - young. that makes me feel even older because i think i've reported on the i because i think i've reported on the first one _ because i think i've reported on the first one in — because i think i've reported on the first one in plymouth. the}r because i think i've reported on the first one in plymouth.— windermere — england's largest lake — is a beautiful spot. but a couple of years ago it turned bright green with blooming algae. and now researchers think a high number of visitors could be to blame. a report which analysed satellite imagery and mobile phone data suggested a link.

campaigners are concerned that the blooms are caused by sewage discharges during these busy periods. our environment correspondent jonah fisher has more. before swimming in lake windermere, it's best to check the water. it looks really good, very clear. i'm with pete kelly — he runs wild—swimming trips across the lake district. there isn't a second level there, which means there's no poo in the water. is it cold? absolutely freezing. checks complete — and well insulated — we head out into one of england's most beautiful natural wonders. it's the most iconic lake in the country. it's the longest lake in england. it's surrounded by beautiful fells. you get that real big—lake experience. but lake windermere is, according to campaigners, in big trouble. it's a bit cold, but it's beautifully clear out there in the water today. but it's not always like that — a combination of high nutrient

levels and warm temperatures mean that, particularly in the summer, lake windermere has been turning green. this was the same spot in the summer of 2022. it's called an algal bloom, and can kill fish, and even become toxic. fears about the health of the lake have led to a high—profile campaign, with feargal sharkey and comedian steve coogan recent visitors. they're blaming sewage discharges from the local water company. so do they have a point? on the right—hand side here, we're beginning to see a build—up of chlorophyll happening. funded by the uk space agency, richard fleming's used satellite images to determine the green chlorophyll content in the lake, and then analysed it alongside mobile—phone data. what we've been able to do

is to understand how many people were in the catchment on specific days. we could then take that and link that to these chlorophyll events, so we can see a direct statistical correlation between number of visitors and chlorophyll content in the lake. so when there are lots of people around lake windermere, it leads to blooming. we've seen within this that one of the factors that leads to blooming is having more people within the catchment area. so i'm taking you now to langdale final treated effluent pipe. so is sewage the link between visitor numbers and algal blooms? campaigner matt staniek certainly thinks so. the connection is more people here, more pressure on local infrastructure. bubbling, he chuckles. and, to and behold, we say united utilities, and that starts happening. so this is treated?

this is treated sewage. we put our camera in the water. this is what legal treated effluent looks like. 1.1 million litres can be discharged from this spot every day. the big difference that we want to make as a campaign — it's notjust the untreated that's causing the issue, it's also the treated sewage that comes from united utilities. and the only way to protect windermere, protect local businesses, protect the environment and the culture and the economy of the area is to stop putting it into the lake. that would require a very long pipe that effectively bypassed the lake, and would come with a multi—million—pound price tag. united utilities said in a statement...

this is new. i haven't seen this one before. so what now? barney cunliffe owns a michelin—starred restaurant near the lake. if — as the research suggests — tourists are at least part of the problem, should there be limits on visitors? we can't be told, "oh, you've got to stop growing because our waste isn't being treated properly." we've paid for that waste to be treated! we deserve to have that infrastructure in place to enable us to grow sustainably. there are solutions that will make our seas, rivers and lakes — like windermere — cleaner, but they're expensive, and the water companies are very clear that it's customers who must pay for them through higher bills. jonah fisher, bbc news, in the lake district. gorgeous place. yes. big issue. it is a talking _

forward to. back to you. cannot wait! thank you. while we were all asleep in the early hours of this morning, two nasa astronauts were supposed to blast off from florida in a test flight to the international space station. just two hours before launch, the mission was postponed due to safety concerns regarding an oxygen valve. here's what nasa had to say. but all i want to say first is that good things are worth waiting for and we'll get a chance to see that rocket and spacecraft lift off the pad here soon. it was really impressive to watch the launch team as the issue popped up. the count had been going very smoothly and they spotted the issue. they followed their flight rules and made the decision to scrub so that they could do some more troubleshooting and decide we're joined now by dr chris copperwheat, an astrophysicist at liverpool john moores university.

and that us and european astronauts were reliant on russian rockets to get there and it was clear that was not a terrible situation going forward. nasa opened up the commercial sector and funded two companies, one was spacex, a new upstart, gave them money to develop a situation, and then $4 billion to boeing, and much more established company. boeing has taken much longer to get to the position where they could launch. spacex has been visiting the iss for many years now. some interesting questions about how these companies operate. boeing have a legacy in space going all the way back to the apollo missions but this is a different way of operating. the past cooperations between government organisations like nasa and boeing

are on a cost plus basis where the taxpayer assumes the risk when they're overruns, we pay more, or they're overruns, we pay more, or the us taxpayer pays more. they did this for a fixed price and a small nimble company like spacex can operate like that. it is a different sort of project management. boeing built up a technical debt in all of the waypoints that lead to delays through to the end. they are quite late but probably learned a lot along the way. it late but probably learned a lot along the way-— late but probably learned a lot along the way. it is interesting, there is the _ along the way. it is interesting, there is the science, _ along the way. it is interesting, there is the science, the - along the way. it is interesting, i there is the science, the financial side and also the human side. i keep thinking about those two guys, the astronauts on board, ready to take off and then, no, sorry, not today, might be tomorrow, might be the weekend, or if you want. that must be hard to deal with stockdale they are strapped in with this huge firework that someone is rated light up firework that someone is rated light up the fuse. the adrenaline is amazing but that is why they pay them the big box and they are ex navy pilots so i think there used to

make money. it is when these opportunities open and there are so many opportunities in space. we had a few minutes ago about the satellite imagery of lake windermere, the biodiversity of environments. it is so intrinsically linked in our lives, the space economy, and very important for the uk as well as other major economies. in terms of voyages into space, what excites you and the years ahead? the thin that excites you and the years ahead? ti9 thing that really excites me is the return to the moon.— return to the moon. where it happened? _ return to the moon. where it happened? i _ return to the moon. where it happened? i think _ return to the moon. where it happened? i think so, - return to the moon. where it happened? i think so, yes. l return to the moon. where itj happened? i think so, yes. it return to the moon. where it - happened? i think so, yes. it has been talked _ happened? i think so, yes. it has been talked about _ happened? i think so, yes. it has been talked about for— happened? i think so, yes. it has been talked about for years, - happened? i think so, yes. it hasj been talked about for years, ever since i was a small boy presidents have had this aspiration but now it is really happening in the technology is there. there is competition again, other national government like china who want to do this, and this drives the political will to do it. for me, the thing thatis will to do it. for me, the thing that is most exciting about the return to the moon is if you look at the crew they are selecting, the first crew for the first flyby, due to happen, there is the first female astronaut to go on, the first

african—american astronaut. the promise from an asset was that they came in peace for all mankind, that was the promise from the apollo mission from nasa and the impact on the generations, we will see that happen. any of us can be part of this wonderfuljourney happen. any of us can be part of this wonderful journey and happen. any of us can be part of this wonderfuljourney and it is very exciting. it this wonderful 'ourney and it is veryexcrnng.— this wonderful 'ourney and it is very exciting. it will look and feel different. thank _ very exciting. it will look and feel different. thank you, _ very exciting. it will look and feel different. thank you, great - very exciting. it will look and feel different. thank you, great to - very exciting. it will look and feel| different. thank you, great to see it. the of my pleasure. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. sadiq khan will start his third term as london's mayor today with a pledge to make the capital the best city in the world to grow up in. he beat conservative rival susan hall in the mayoral election with the result announced at city hall on saturday. later today he will take the declaration of office and will also commit to keeping london at the "forefront

of climate action". rail passengers are being warned to check before they travel as strike action is affecting a number of services this morning. drivers from the aslef union are walking out in a row over pay and conditions with rail companies warning there will be very limited services today. work to dig up the pitch at bromley football club's stadium starts this morning after the team's promotion to the english football league. according to efl rules, teams must play on grass, so the artificial turf at the hayes lane stadium needs to be replaced. but the chairman says it won't be going to waste. it's not about rolling that up and laying the grass. that artificial surface is used full—time through the week across our community. so we have a piece of land behind the football ground, which we will now lay the artificial surface on there — so that we still give the access to the community — and then we sow the grass seeds on the main pitch

for the football team. more teenagers are taking up fishing, with a 23% rise in the number of young people applying forjunior licenses year on year with around 50,000 issued. the charity get hooked on fishing runs sessions for young people. sophie's been fishing since she was little and says there are lots of benefits. the fish are going to be slimy, and thatis the fish are going to be slimy, and that is a very nice, but you can forget about everything, you can forget about everything, you can forget about everything, you can forget about school and all your problems. let's take a look at the tubes now. the bakerloo and district lines have minor delays. the metropolitan line is part suspended. on to the weather now with kate. good morning. there's a fair amount of mist around first thing this morning, but that will lift to a fine, largely dry day and, at last, the temperature is starting to feel a little bit warmer. any remnants of yesterday's front down in the southeast will clear to sunshine.

we'll see some patchy cloud bubbling up, which brings the risk of an isolated shower, but largely dry for most, and temperatures today in that sunshine feeling warm at 20 celsius. overnight, the cloud and any showers will clear, so some clear spells to start with, but then the cloud will start to edge in from the east, turning quite murky by dawn tomorrow. minimum temperature, six celsius. now, high pressure is still in charge for tomorrow and i guess it could be quite a cloudy, grey start, but that cloud's going to thin and break, we'll see any mist lift, and we'll get a day of sunshine. temperatures tomorrow again getting up to around 21 celsius, sojust sneaking up a little higher. now that high pressure is going to stay with us through this week, so settled conditions throughout — largely dry and fine, some sunshine — and temperatures by the end of the week at 23 celsius. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. bye for now.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today... israel rejects a peace deal for gaza and goes ahead with fighting in rafah — but it says negotiations will continue. there had been hope in gaza after hamas said it would accept the ceasefire plan that could allow more aid into the territory a major hack of a ministry of defence database — the names and bank details

of an unknown number of army, navy and air force personnel have been accessed. a proposal to bring in restrictions for newly qualified drivers goes before parliament in a move to cut the number of deaths on the roads. how much money did the energy firm bp make in the first quarter of this year? it's expected to be down on last year — but still billions in the black. we're about to find out. tears and ticker tape for world snooker champion kyren wilson, who pays tribute to his mum and dad who helped him win the sport's biggest prize. and fewer, also lighter showers around today, which means many of you will be dry, and the dry story continues for many through the rest of this week. the optimistic details here on breakfast.— here on breakfast. good morning, all. it's tuesday 7th of may.

israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, says a ceasefire deal approved by hamas is a long way from meeting his country's demands — but negotiations will continue today. israel has stepped up its military operation around rafah in southern gaza, launching air strikes and seizing control of the palestinian side of the crossing into egypt. 100,000 refugees were told to move from rafah to what israel called a humanitarian zone near khan younis — an area gazans say is already overcrowded. our reporter vincent mcaviney has more. overnight, israel conducted what it described as targeted strikes against hamas in eastern rafah. the major ground operation anticipated for several weeks has not materialised. though there are reports they have taken over the palestinian side of the rafah border crossing with egypt. late last night, the israeli

government rejected the latest peace plan but said it would continue negotiating. earlier in the day, there had been a jubilant mood in gaza after hamas accepted a ceasefire proposal being brokered by qatari and egyptian mediators. the details of the deal are still not confirmed, but it's thought to include the release of all hostages in return for palestinian prisoners and free movement in the gaza strip. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has already declared the proposed deal to be short of expectations. in tel aviv, the families of those abducted on october 7th once again took to the streets. they said they were pleased the delegation had quickly been dispatched by their government, but demanded they not return until an agreement is signed for the return of all hostages. we expect from the israeli government to take this deal to save all the remaining hostages who are still alive.

but after benjamin netanyahu pledged the total destruction of hamas, a ceasefire deal that fails to accomplish that risks breaking israel's wartime coalition government. so for the idf, the fighting continues. translation: we examine every proposal very seriously, _ and we review every possibility on the issue of negotiations and the return of the hostages to their homes as quickly as possible, and as a central task. at the same time, we carry on with our operations in the gaza strip, and will continue to do so _ in washington, the biden administration has been publicly warning israel against an incursion into rafah. they've described the talks as being at a critical and highly sensitive stage. six months out from an election, president biden will be applying maximum pressure on both sides to help his chances. the people of rafah were awoken yesterday to leaflets warning them to evacuate.

but with an estimated 1.4 million internally displaced palestinians struggling to survive in the city with little food and poor conditions, for most, this wasn't possible. they can only hope the negotiations over the border in egypt might finally bring them some peace. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. we can talk now to our middle east correspondent yolande knell who's injerusalem. yolande, what more do we know about the situation in rafah this morning? the israeli military says it has taken operational control of the palestinian side of the rafah crossing, which is on the border with egypt. you can see the tanks have moved in there, and we had witnesses saying there were flares lighting up the sky over night. there was the constant sound of israeli bombardment, and the israeli

government said it has found three tunnel shaft in our area around the crossing. it is stressing at the moment that it is still a very limited and precise operation. it is not the full scale ground offensive of rafah which world powers have been warning against because of the humanitarian consequences in a city thatis humanitarian consequences in a city that is so packed with palestinians who fled the fighting elsewhere in gaza. of course, all this going on adds to the diplomatic pressure, and you now have the qataris who have been mediators and a potential hostage deal, sending their team back to cairo so they can talk again about a ceasefire. it is very confusing, because we did have an israeli official saying last night, quoted anonymously, saying that this seemed to be a watered—down egyptian proposal that hamas had accepted. it wasn't meeting israeli requirements. but then you had other officials coming out and saying, this is

actually very close, what hamas had accepted to an israeli proposal that was put forward at the end of last month, which us secretary of state antony blinken then described as being extraordinarily generous. yolande, thank you very much for that for now. the israeli army saying that they are now in operational control of the rafah crossing. it is eight minute past seven. sally has more of this morning's news, and a significant data breach. that is right, jon. the defence secretary, grant shapps, is expected to make a statement later after personal data of some serving members of the uk armed forces was hacked on a third—party payroll system. it is not known who is behind the breach, or what the data may be used for. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster. henry, what more do we know about the breach? well, we still don't know an awful lot, sally, but what we do know is

quite serious indeed. we know that there was a day to breach of the payroll system for members of all three of the armed forces. it covered things like surnames, their bank details, what is being described as hmrc style information, and it appears to have affected some veterans. and in a very limited number of cases, it is understood that home addresses, personal addresses, as some of those caught up addresses, as some of those caught up in the data breach were gleaned. what was hacked was a third—party database from a subcontractor not operated by the ministry of defence but on behalf of the ministry of defence. so there is no suggestion that this cyber attack got into operational ministry of defence or armed forces systems, nothing to do with their activities, just limited to the payroll system, but a lot of those affected will be very concerned. and when the defence secretary grant shapps speaks to the

house of commons later, the big questions he will be asked is who, who was behind this? was it a hostile state, and if it was, what is the government doing to combat cyber espionage from other states? and more generally, what are the government's cyber security arrangements, was it appropriate to have all this data on an external contractor's platforms? lots of questions to be asked later, lots of pressure on the government to offer up pressure on the government to offer up answers. pressure on the government to offer up answers-— up answers. henry, thank you very much indeed- _ at least four people have died following the collapse of a building in south africa. more than 20 people have been removed from the rubble of the multi—story construction site in george, on south africa's western cape. reports suggest more than 50 people are unaccounted for. the cause of the collapse remains unknown. the mother of martyn hett, who was killed in the manchester arena bombing, will begin a 200—mile walk from the venue to downing street today, to demand tighter security against terrorism in public places. figen murray is calling for the introduction of martyn's law, named after her son, which would require venues and local authorities to have

training and plans in place to deal with terror attacks. humza yousaf is expected to formally resign as scotland's first minister later. john swinney was elected unopposed as leader of the snp yesterday, and he'll now ask for parliamentary backing to become the new first minister. mr swinney says he'll "seek common ground" with political opponents and urged those against scottish independence "to work with" the snp. in the last few minutes, the energy giant bp has released its results for the first quarter of this year. nina has the details. i do. thank you, sally. big profits for bp. they made £2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2024. a lot of money, of course, but down from £4 billion in the same period last year. partly because we've seen the global

why? partly because we've seen the global price of energy drop, and follows a similar dip we saw from shell last week. bp might also say their profits have been curbed because of their investment in green energy. unlike some competitors, they have pledged to hit net zero emissions by 2050. they will also say they paid hundreds of millions in windfall taxes and thousands of british pensions do depend on their success. this is still a lot of money, though. it's 2.2 billion in profit at a time when we're paying more than £1.50 at the pump and trying to claw back reserves after two years of high energy bills. nina, thank you. 12 minutes past seven. a—listers have hit the green carpet with a flourish at this year's garden—inspired met gala. the prestigious fashion event held in new york welcomed celebrities who were invited to show off their best floral outfits. every year it is given a theme, and people follow the theme. this is

brooklyn beckham. not very floral, i don't know. and that is singer songwriter raye. and this lady here, her dress was so complicated and fabulous that she couldn't actually walk up the stairs, and had to be carried. that would be me. i think her dress was made of sand. the sandy garden. it was moulded to her body, so she had to be picked up and carried up the stairs. you would want to make the most of it, because apparently it is £56,000 per ticket. white manual and i'm just wondering how you can sit down and that dress. if you can't walk on it. do you think they then have a big three course meal? if you pay 56 grand, you would want to stuff your face! get your moneys worth. i think it is probably a lettuce leaf and a glass of water.

13 minutes past seven. here's matt with a look at the weather. i was going to say it is looking brighter, but it isn't right where you are. it brighter, but it isn't right where ou are. , g :, you are. it is getting there, jon. some flooding _ you are. it is getting there, jon. some flooding yesterday, - you are. it is getting there, jon. some flooding yesterday, clear| you are. it is getting there, jon. - some flooding yesterday, clear skies through the night, and we are starting with a bit of murk around this morning, but actually it is a day and a week of optimism because it is mostly going to be dry through today with sunny spells developing more widely as we head into the afternoon. if you're about to head out of the door, in the next hour or so, it is not cold, temperatures nine — 12 celsius, the wind not making things feel too chilly, and that fog takes a little look at a shift, but a lot of cloud around, thicken up in parts of central and southern scotland for some light rain and drizzle. most will be dry, and into the afternoon showers will p0p up a and into the afternoon showers will pop up a bit more, particularly across the western half of england

and western parts of wales as well. one or two also affecting cumbria and north lancashire as well, but the vast majority, coolest weather cloud is thickest across parts of scotland, pleasant in the sunshine to the south, but that is going to the pollen levels across southern england and wales, across high levels, and if you get the sunshine it is going to be strong as well. don't forget we are creeping closer and closer towards mid—into tonight, turning foggy across some eastern parts of england and towards the west of wales in the south—west. but again, it won't be a cold night and certainly not a cold weekend ahead. if anything, temperatures will continue to climb as we go through the week. a lot of the time it will be dry. it is getting more yellow, isn't it?

thank you very much indeed, matt. on breakfast, we've been closely following the growing campaign to introduce graduated driving licences for newly qualified drivers, meaning they would face initial restrictions with the aim of preventing the number of road—related deaths and injuries. let's look at the numbers. the latest uk government figures from 2022 show that 29,742 people were killed or seriously injured on our roads. around a fifth of all those killed or seriously injured were a result of collisions involving cars driven by a young driver. drivers aged 17 to 24 were four times as likely to be killed or seriously injured as those aged 25 and over. a new law will be introduced in parliament today for newly qualified drivers which proposes restrictions for the first six months, including a zero alcohol limit and controls over the number of young passengers allowed. it comes after a coroner in hampshire has called on the government to do more

to protect young people on the roads, following the death of two teenage boys in a car crash in september 2021. 18—year—old driver charlie hopkins was carrying eight passengers in his car when he crashed in surrey and died, along with passenger, billy robinson. an inquest found that speed and "drunkenness" contributed to their deaths. our reporter nikki mitchell has been to speak to billy's mother sam robinson. he was my blue—eyed boy growing up. he was very energetic, loved being outdoors all the time — he was either on his scooter or on his bike, but mainly in the back garden, kicking a football. football was billy's main passion. played from a very young age for some great teams and to a very high standard. he was training to become an electrician. yeah, in my eyes, he was

the boy that had it all. there's the grief and the emptiness that you have in your heart, and this house — billy's empty room, the empty chair around the kitchen table, the empty space in ourfamily photos. but you also grieve everything that he's missing out on in life. and it surrounds us every day. there are tributes for billy and his friend charlie, who was driving when tragedy struck. they both died from the injuries they suffered when their car veered onto the wrong side of the road, and hit a taxi head—on. the crash happened here on the outskirts of tongham in the middle of the night. the boys had been to a friend's birthday party. eight teenage boys crammed into a vw polo — two in the front, five in the back, and one in the boot. you know, each time that i'm behind a polo, ijust...

ijust think, "how on earth? what were they thinking?" i mean, they were eight young men and billy was a front—seat passenger. and they couldn't get billy out, so... he had to wait for a fire engine to cut him out. and...obviously, all this time he was losing oxygen. this was september 2021, during covid. billy's parents were allowed to visit him in hospital every day for one hour only. billy never knew, as he remained unconscious throughout, until he eventually died. sam couldn't bring herself to watch a video billy had taken inside the car and posted on social media before it crashed — but a friend told her what it showed. the music was loud and they were chanting. and... yeah, it looked like a party car. the driver — billy's friend charlie hopkins, from surrey, another keen footballer —

was also killed. his parents said they were heartbroken. he was an only child. an inquest into the deaths of both teenagers concluded the car had been speeding, and charlie was over the legal alcohol limit for driving — both factors contributing to the crash. the inquest also heard the car's airbags had been disabled years earlier, during a previous ownership. the coroner said, had they worked, the driver would have survived, but billy would still have died. as well as speed and drunkenness, the coroner also said it's possible the inexperience of the driver and the presence of so many other passengers in the car may also have played a part in what happened. as a result, the coroner is sending a prevention of future deaths report to the department for transport, asking it to consider any additional steps to protect young drivers, and reduce fatalities.

in farnborough, this is welcome news to billy's mum. it's fuelled her determination now to campaign for new laws to protect teenagers on the roads. billy was a fit and healthy, strong young boy that was taken from us after being involved in an accident that was avoidable. and i think that's the thing that makes me sad, really. every day, every week and every month, our young people are losing their lives on our roads. and there is something that can be done about it. that something is graduated driving licences, that we've covered on this programme before. sam hasjoined a group of parents called forget—me—not families uniting. they're petitioning parliament to introduce minimum learning hours for new drivers, curfews, and a ban on carrying passengers. it's alcohol, inexperience and peer pressure. i feel that — no doubt that the driver felt, you know, that there was pressure on him

and he was trying to concentrate. and i think that's the thing about the graduated driving licence, is that it would only be for a short period of time. but when our young and novice drivers pass their test, for those months, they canjust concentrate solely on the road ahead without any distractions, experience different weather conditions, and all different situations before they're responsible for carrying other passengers. i know for sure that if it was law in this country, i would not be sat here, and my billy would be living his life like he should be. that was sam robinson speaking to us there. let's get more on this now with labour mp kim leadbeater, who later today will introduce the new law in parliament which proposes newly qualified drivers should face restrictions in theirfirst six months on the road. we have just heard that a very powerful testimony from sam. death

like this have an unspeakable impact, and many of them are preventable, aren't they? good mornin: , preventable, aren't they? good morning, sally. _ preventable, aren't they? good morning, sally. that _ preventable, aren't they? good morning, sally. that is - preventable, aren't they? good morning, sally. that isjust - morning, sally. that isjust horrifically tragic, and sam is so brave to talk about what has happened to her family brave to talk about what has happened to herfamily in brave to talk about what has happened to her family in the brave to talk about what has happened to herfamily in the middle of her devastation, and she has made the case for me when it comes to the proposal around the graduated driving licence. we are losing far too many young people on our roads, and we have to look at ways we can try and reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries, and graduated driving licences one way of doing that. we haven't seen any real action from the government on this forfar too long. the action from the government on this for far too long. the last time there was any framework around road was 2011 under the coalition government, and in 2019 the current government, and in 2019 the current government were talking about it, but we have seen nothing since. i have met with families who have lost loved ones, and i think this ten minute rule bill is my way of saying, i hear you, we need to have these consultations and it is the first step forward to making sure

this is discussed at parliament at the highest possible level. so you are proposing _ the highest possible level. so you are proposing new _ the highest possible level. so you are proposing new legislation - the highest possible level. so you are proposing new legislation in i are proposing new legislation in parliament today. how would the new restrictions work? what changes would you like to make? the proposal toda is would you like to make? the proposal today is about — would you like to make? the proposal today is about the _ would you like to make? the proposal today is about the start _ would you like to make? the proposal today is about the start of _ would you like to make? the proposal today is about the start of the - today is about the start of the conversation. there are different graduated licence scheme is around the world and they need to be looked at. sam mentioned there around zero alcohol, are looking at restrictions around when young people are out on the roads, whether that is looking at night—time driving, also looking at night—time driving, also looking at the number of passengers that you have in a car. the fact that they were eight people in that car when she lost her son is just terrific. and if what we can do is put laws in place that mean young people are not put under that kind of pressure, because that is the reality. you pass your test, you are excited and you want to get your mates in the car and go out and have fun, but if it is against the law to do some of those things, hopefully, and certainly conversations i've had

with young people, would suggest they are not going to be to do that. they are going to have six months where they can concentrate on learning how to drive. it is a cliche, a we say that you pass your test and then you learn how to drive, let's give new drivers that time and space to learn to drive, to increase their confidence, and then they will be much safer drivers going forward. bind they will be much safer drivers going forward-— they will be much safer drivers auoin forward. : :, going forward. and there are some practicalities _ going forward. and there are some practicalities to _ going forward. and there are some practicalities to be _ going forward. and there are some practicalities to be ironed - going forward. and there are some practicalities to be ironed out, - going forward. and there are some practicalities to be ironed out, for. practicalities to be ironed out, for example some young people might desperately need to be able to drive, to build to drive siblings or perhaps they are caring for relatives. it isn't a black—and—white case, is it? qt black—and—white case, is it? of course, black—and—white case, is it? qt course, and we have black—and—white case, is it? t>t course, and we have to be sensible, and i have to be caveats weather around medical situations are going to work, family members. so those things have to be considered. but i think it is really important that this conversation is had now parliament, and we start to flesh out what this could look like going forward, because sam's family is not the only family, i think you had on

your programme ian who lost his daughter alice at the age of 12, to not only did he lose his daughter, his wife and his other daughter were seriously injured, but the driver of the car involved in that collision was also killed, they were 18 years old. the passenger was 16 and also lost their life. so there is detailed to be ironed out, but we have got to have these conversations in parliament, we need to put pressure on the government to do more, and from the labour party perspective, i'm speaking to our shadow transport secretary louise haigh who is very open to having conversations about this in the uk, so i think today is the start of a conversation and i'm proud to be taking this bill to parliament. taste taking this bill to parliament. we soke taking this bill to parliament. we spoke to ian greenwood who spoke powerfully about what happened to his family, we also talked about perhaps frustrations, because we are in a general election year. how might that impact what you want to happen? i might that impact what you want to ha--en? ~ might that impact what you want to ha en? .. , , might that impact what you want to hauen? .. , , , happen? i think this is the problem, the country — happen? i think this is the problem, the country is _ happen? i think this is the problem, the country is in _ happen? i think this is the problem, the country is in limbo _ happen? i think this is the problem, the country is in limbo and - happen? i think this is the problem, the country is in limbo and they - the country is in limbo and they were so many things going on, and

this is why i'm starting there. let's get in there early and hopefully we have got some time before the general election to put pressure on the current government but also to have conversations within the labour party that if we were fortunate enough to be the next government, this is something at the top of our agenda is something we can start working on very quickly if we are elected.— we are elected. when you talk to --eole in we are elected. when you talk to people in your — we are elected. when you talk to people in your community, - we are elected. when you talk to people in your community, to - people in your community, to parents, what are they asking for? since i got elected in 2021, i would say road safety is probably the biggest issue in my inbox. we have got dangerous driving going on, dangerous parking, a number of issues around road safety. theyjust want it to stop, and often people will say, we need more police, stiffer penalties, and i'm not against those things, but what i think we should be doing is supporting newly qualified younger drivers, so it is not a punitive measure, it is a supportive measure because sadly they are often the ones as we have seen today who lose their lives. they are the ones whose

families' lives change forever, and we have to look at those who break the law and drive badly penalised, but let's look at how we can support people are particularly young people to be the best drivers that they can possibly be. passing your test is one of the best things that can happen in your life, but we don't want that to then lead to some of the tragedies we have heard about this morning. kim the tragedies we have heard about this morning-— the tragedies we have heard about this morninu. :, , :, ., ~ this morning. kim leadbeater, thank ou ve this morning. kim leadbeater, thank you very much _ this morning. kim leadbeater, thank you very much for — this morning. kim leadbeater, thank you very much for talking _ this morning. kim leadbeater, thank you very much for talking to - this morning. kim leadbeater, thank you very much for talking to us - this morning. kim leadbeater, thank you very much for talking to us this l you very much for talking to us this morning. you can find out more on the issue of graudated licences on the bbc iplayer. there is a documentary there. "drive fast, die young" available now on iplayer. still to come on breakfast... concerns over green algae in england's largest lake. campaigners say high visitor numbers to windermere is leading to sewage discharge. and that might be to blame for the kind of pictures you are looking at right now. we'll speak to the environment agency about how the lake can be protected after 8:30. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. sadiq khan will start his third term as london's mayor today, with a pledge to make the capital the best city in the world to grow up in. he beat conservative rival susan hall in the mayoral election, with the result announced at city hall on saturday. later today, he will take the declaration of office and will also commit to keeping london at the "forefront of climate action". rail passengers are being warned to check before they travel, as strike action is affecting a number of services this morning. drivers from the aslef union are walking out in a row over pay and conditions, with rail companies warning there will be very limited services today. work to dig up the pitch at bromley football club's stadium starts this morning, after the team's promotion to the english football league. according to efl rules, teams must play on grass, so the artificial turf at the hayes lane stadium needs to be replaced.

but the chairman says it won't be going to waste. it's not about rolling that up and laying the grass. that artificial surface is used full—time through the week across our community. so we have a piece of land behind the football ground, which we will now lay the artificial surface on there — so that we still give the access to the community — and then we sow the grass seeds on the main pitch for the football team. more teenagers are taking up fishing, with a 23% rise in the number of young people applying forjunior licences year on year, with around 50,000 issued. the charity get hooked on fishing runs sessions for young people. sophie's been fishing since she was little, and says there are lots of benefits. the fish, of course, are going to be slimy, and some of the bait�*s going to be weird, but it'sjust like, it doesn't matter. you're in nature, which is already quite nice, and you can, like, forgetabout, like, everything.

you can forget about school, work, problems. let's take a look at the tubes now. weather now, with kate. good morning. there's a fair amount of mist around first thing this morning, but that will lift to a fine, largely dry day and, at last, the temperature is starting to feel a little bit warmer. any remnants of yesterday's front down in the southeast will clear to sunshine. we'll see some patchy cloud bubbling up, which brings the risk of an isolated shower, but largely dry for most, and temperatures today in that sunshine feeling warm at 20 celsius. overnight, the cloud and any showers will clear, so some clear spells to start with, nut then the cloud will start to edge in from the east, turning quite murky by dawn tomorrow. minimum temperature, six celsius. now, high pressure is still in charge for tomorrow and i guess it could be quite a cloudy, grey start, but that cloud's going to thin and break, we'll see any mist lift, and we'll get a day of sunshine. temperatures tomorrow again getting

up to around 21 celsius, sojust sneaking up a little higher. now that high pressure is going to stay with us through this week, so settled conditions throughout — largely dry and fine, some sunshine — and temperatures by the end of the week at 23 celsius. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. plenty more on our website. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. greater manchester mayor andy burnham has been re—elected for a third term, following an overwhelming win in last week's local elections. the labour mayor received more than 420,000 votes — almost two thirds of those available. he has the most powers of any elected mayor outside london and andy burnham joins us now.

that but there are many other elements to it, as well.- that but there are many other elements to it, as well. they will be people _ elements to it, as well. they will be people watching _ elements to it, as well. they will be people watching not - elements to it, as well. they will be people watching notjust - elements to it, as well. they will be people watching notjust in i be people watching notjust in greater manchester but across the country listening to you say that, but how will you make that kind of difference on housing? especially when there are so many other concerns like the roads, schools, so many more demands on the money you have.~ many more demands on the money you have. ~ .. many more demands on the money you have. ~ ,, :, , :,, :, have. well, i think housing has got to be a priority. — have. well, i think housing has got to be a priority, hasn't _ have. well, i think housing has got to be a priority, hasn't it? - have. well, i think housing has got to be a priority, hasn't it? you - to be a priority, hasn't it? you cannot have anything in life without a good home and there are too many people sadly living without a good secure at home. and that creates so many other challenges for us as a society. i think you do have to put housing first and make it a top order issue. it is notjust building new homes for social rent, we are going to bring in a good landlord charted to improve standards in the private rented sector. we will give our residents at the right to request a property check if they are concerned that their home is unfit

or unsafe. we have in place plans to do these things. in terms of building the social hose, we have identified the brownfield land where they can go, we are working with public bodies to release that land. this plan is funded and can be done. of the tens of thousands of homes you are talking about, how many of them are affordable homes, social homes? :, :, ':: 11:11: :, homes? look, all of the 10,000 that we will build — homes? look, all of the 10,000 that we will build within _ homes? look, all of the 10,000 that we will build within this _ homes? look, all of the 10,000 that we will build within this mayoral - we will build within this mayoral term will be council homes, for social rent, new generation of council homes that will be cheaper to run because this is the great thing about the modern homes being built. net zero homes. the bills are much cheaper so rent will be lower and their bills will be lower and thatis and their bills will be lower and that is why we need to bring in a new generation of council homes in all of our ten boroughs. it is ambitious, absolutely, buti all of our ten boroughs. it is ambitious, absolutely, but i think we have to get to grips now with the

housing crisis. the reality is it is getting worse every year and the reason it is getting worse is because with the right to buy, we lose social rent. lose social last because with the right to buy, we lose social last year, 500 homes for social rent were lost. one other thing i'm saying today to whitehall and westminster is unique to allow us to suspend right to buy from the new homes we are building because if you don't, trying to solve the housing crisis is trying to fill a bath but with the plug out because you try to build new homes but lose them at the other end and that is not going to work. we now need to rethink right to buy. it is about suspending it, not ending it, but we can't be in a situation where the housing crisis gets worse and worse every year as we lose those homes that people can truly afford. to those watching this programme this morning his say that their family bought a council house generations

600 people every night he would otherwise be sleeping rough. i have been out around our city centre this morning during a walkabout. there are too many people out there. the good thing that i can say is mayor if there is enough offer for help for every person out there and we have been putting those two then this morning. we have to address the housing crisis on every level. westminster has to wake up to it with us and that is why we have to take some difficult decisions to do it. :, :, ~ take some difficult decisions to do it. ok. can we talk about your convincing _ it. ok. can we talk about your convincing win _ it. ok. can we talk about your convincing win in _ it. ok. can we talk about your convincing win in greater - convincing win in greater manchester? part of your patch is older and labour lost control of the council in oldham, lost some seats to independence, do you accept that labour's stance on gaza was part of the reason why? it labour's stance on gaza was part of the reason why?— the reason why? it was certainly a factor in the _ the reason why? it was certainly a factor in the elections. _ the reason why? it was certainly a factor in the elections. no - the reason why? it was certainly a factor in the elections. no point . the reason why? it was certainly a j factor in the elections. no point in saying otherwise. it had an effect on the results here but in other parts of the country, as well. let's

not forget that these were very good results for labour and four keir but, yes, there is definitely a need to engage with us communities, listen to how they feel, and obviously as the situation continues to develop in the middle east, we need to speak clearly from my point of view, a humanitarian point of view, there are real concerns about what might be about to unfold in rafah. myself and tell me just called for a ceasefire last year. we need to be clear that we do not want to see what might be about to unfold and be clear in speaking up. at the end of the day, this issue is not about politics, it is about people's lives, it is a situation where we do need to have clarity in terms of what we say. d0

need to have clarity in terms of what we say-— what we say. do you think keir starmer will _ what we say. do you think keir starmer will give _ what we say. do you think keir starmer will give more - what we say. do you think keir starmer will give more clarity l what we say. do you think keir. starmer will give more clarity and change his position potentially? he says he is listening but is he changing?— says he is listening but is he chanuain? :, changing? well, keir has called for a ceasefire and _ changing? well, keir has called for a ceasefire and i _ changing? well, keir has called for a ceasefire and i think, _ changing? well, keir has called for a ceasefire and i think, like - changing? well, keir has called for a ceasefire and i think, like all- a ceasefire and i think, like all politicians, these are difficult issues and we all have to work hard to listen, to follow the situation as it develops, and, as i say, be clear. from my point of view as mayor of greater manchester, i have a large muslim community but also a largejewish community and i condemned the terrorist attacks on the 7th of october and stood with ourjewish community at a visual shortly after. at the same time, we have seen events unfold, i call for a ceasefire with other leaders. it is obviously a very distressing and challenging situation for everybody. it is really not myjob as mayor of greater manchester to provide a running commentary on all of it at times need to represent how our communities feel and we do that to

politicians at the national level. when you wear in national government you are health secretary and gave evidence at the infected blood scandal which will publish its report in a couple of weeks. what are you looking to that report to announce, to declare?— are you looking to that report to announce, to declare? yeah. it is auoin to announce, to declare? yeah. it is going to be--- — announce, to declare? yeah. it is going to be... well, _ announce, to declare? yeah. it is going to be... well, i— announce, to declare? yeah. it is going to be... well, i think - announce, to declare? yeah. it is going to be... well, i think it's i announce, to declare? yeah. it is going to be... well, i think it's a| going to be... well, i think it's a monumental day, the 20th of may, because i think this is one of the greatest, if not the greatest injustice that this country has seen stop thousands and thousands and thousands of people infected. so many lives ruined. and for decades under all governments, in my view, whitehall lined up for trying to —— behind a lie, people were knowingly given unsafe blood products. ifound out through the work i did that i

was given lies as health secretary, that same point was put to me and in the end ifound out that same point was put to me and in the end i found out that was untrue. indeed, i think, the end i found out that was untrue. indeed, ithink, when the end i found out that was untrue. indeed, i think, when this report comes out, it will rock whitehall to its foundations because we cannot have a situation in this country where public servants are not anything other than wholly truthful to ministers. it is why i have called for a duty of candour and all public servants to tell the truth at the first time of asking. we will see, when the report comes out, but when i made my final speech in parliament, i called this a criminal cover—up on an industrial scale, and personally i think that is what this report will find.— personally i think that is what this report will find. criminal cover-up. do ou report will find. criminal cover-up. do you think _ report will find. criminal cover-up. do you think criminal— report will find. criminal cover-up. do you think criminal prosecutions | do you think criminal prosecutions could still follow?— could still follow? well, i think they should. — could still follow? well, i think they should, in _ could still follow? well, i think they should, in the _ could still follow? well, i think they should, in the same - could still follow? well, i think they should, in the same way i could still follow? well, i think. they should, in the same way as could still follow? well, i think- they should, in the same way as they should with the post office situation and the same way that they

should with grenfell. there has to be accountability in society and particularly in public services. we obviously will wait to see the detail, but i am very clear. i was not told the truth as health secretary and it should not be possible that that could be allowed to happen. i think the fear of financial exposure, whitehall kind of stuck to this lie and line decades and sadly so many families lost loved ones and had their lives ruined as a result so there has to be full accountability.— be full accountability. andy burnham. _ be full accountability. andy burnham, seeing _ be full accountability. andy burnham, seeing as - be full accountability. andy burnham, seeing as you i be full accountability. andy | burnham, seeing as you are be full accountability. andy - burnham, seeing as you are just beginning your search and i will not question you always get asked about whether you want to go back to westminster and whether you would consider going back into a labour government if that happens, but but i am going to ask you whether you might consider strictly come

him. not such a great night for manchester united as they gear up for the fa cup final to come and we will talk about tom daley, as well, preparing for a fifth olympics which seems crazy. it will make you feel very old this morning! good morning. tears, ticker tape, a trophy and a massive thankyou from kyren wilson to his mum and dad. they were the first people he thanked as he won the sport's biggest prize, beating jakjones 18—14 at the crucible last night. olly foster was watching. applause and cheering. come on, champion, get in there! after a fortnight under the crucible spotlight, the tears finally flowed. 14 years after he turned professional as a teenager, he knew who to thank first. my mum and dad — i think they're on their way down — but, you know, they've remortgaged. .. you know, sacrificed their whole lives to get me here. this wasn't the final anyone had predicted, nor one that will be remembered for its quality.

as the nerves grew on the final stretch, so the pockets grew smaller. the frame—winning moments that will be remembered will be ones like these. john virgo: where's this plant going? i where's the plant going? surely not! jakjones had his fair share of those, as well. a fly on the yellow was perhaps a lucky charm. the welsh qualifier had been 7—0 down at the start of this final — he cut that to three frames in the final session, but it was a comeback too far. he's still £200,000 richer, and he'sjumped up to 14th in the world rankings. ijust thought if ijust try my best, basically, see what happens. but when you're playing someone as solid as kyren — got such a good all—round game — it's going to be harder to come back from a deficit like that, so, yeah, wasn't to be. kyren wilson lost to ronnie o'sullivan four years ago — the crucible's covid final,

with just a few hundred watching. he milked every moment of his winning frame. ronnie's got his name on the trophy seven times. but it's wilson who is this year's world champion. olly foster, bbc news. that was lovely, watching his boys willing him on to success last night. now, just how bad has it become for manchester united? they were beaten 4—0 by crystal palace last night. to put it into context, that's their biggest defeat against palace since the 1970s. they might have an fa cup final to come, but they've lost more matches in a premier league season than ever before. michael olise scored with two of palace's goals. and it's only going to add to the debeate around manager erik ten hag's future. i prepare the team in the best way i can, and we have many problems, so the only focus i have — to perform better with my team.

so just finally, tonight doesn't add to any concern for yourself about your position? i don't think about this — that is, i think only about making my team better, and it's necessary because we are underperforming. he says it himself, they are underperforming. a year after winning the club's first major trophy in 43 years, manager davis moyes will leave west ham. it comes after months of speculation and a string of heavy defeats. he led the side to that memorable europa conference league success last season. the bbc understands that replacing him will be julen lopetegui, who has previously managed wolves, real madrid and the spanish national team. the celebrations have been continuing as ipswich town marked their return to the big time with a open—top bus parade. the players and fans were out in force after completing remarkable

back—to—back promotions under manager kieran mckenna, making it back to the top flight with victory over huddersfield at portman road on saturday. and some of those players perhaps feeling a little worse for wear this morning, and i'm sure they're not the only ones. thousands of fans turned out to celebrate. we said we would make you feel old this morning. from a 14—year—old going to his first olympics, tom daley will compete at his fifth olympics this summer in paris, after his place in team gb's diving squad was confirmed. he took time away from the sport after winning gold alongside matty lee at the last games in tokyo, but he'll take part in the same event — the 10—metre synchro — with noah williams. daley chose to return after his son robbie said he wanted to see his father compete at an olympics. williams, his team, mate said no—one else in the world could take two years out and be as good as he is. the pair won gold at a world cup event in march. he's only 29. could he do another?

it seems remarkable when you think is going for his fifth olympics. we have probably made feel old. 29! into his 30s, maybe. can we talk about six? you never know. he could insire about six? you never know. he could inspire us- — about six? you never know. he could inspire us- the _ about six? you never know. he could inspire us. the toll _ about six? you never know. he could inspire us. the toll that _ about six? you never know. he could inspire us. the toll that takes - about six? you never know. he could inspire us. the toll that takes on i inspire us. the toll that takes on the bod . inspire us. the toll that takes on the body- it _ inspire us. the toll that takes on the body. it is— inspire us. the toll that takes on the body. it is a _ inspire us. the toll that takes on the body. it is a fitness - inspire us. the toll that takes on the body. it is a fitness and i the body. it is a fitness and -h sical the body. it is a fitness and physical shape _ the body. it is a fitness and physical shape but - the body. it is a fitness and physical shape but at i the body. it is a fitness and physical shape but at 29 i the body. it is a fitness and i physical shape but at 29 there is the body. it is a fitness and - physical shape but at 29 there is no reason he couldn't stop so let's get paris out of the way first. the actor and disability rights campaigner liz carr has turned her hand to documentary—making, authoring a film on the debate surrounding assisted dying. her view is that any moves to change the law will leave vulnerable people — including those with disabilities — at much greater risk. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. liz carr's acting career took off relatively late in life. but away from the red carpets and award—winning roles, she's long been an ardent campaigner for disability rights.

and it's the prospect of changes to the law around assisted dying that is the focus of her bbc documentary. her opposition is based on concerns about what it may mean — not just for those suffering from a terminal illness, but also for those who are vulnerable, including people living with disabilities. if you think this is just about terminal illness, think again. this is about disability. and for me and others, that is terrifying. these laws, i believe, will put lives like mine — marginalised lives — at risk, and those risks will be fatal. her documentary sees her take on some of those who've been pushing for a change in the law — including the former lord chancellor charles falconer. we have to do something about the law, because if you want to take your own life because you are terminally ill, you've either got to do it yourself without any help, or you've got to go to switzerland, do it earlier than you might

otherwise have to. and i am very in favour of changing the law to allow people who are terminally ill to be assisted by a doctor to take their own life. but only subject to safeguards because for disabled people, one needs very much to ensure that there are appropriate safeguards. liz carr travels to canada — one country where the law on assisted dying has already been changed to allow those with a terminal illness to end their own life. but the law has also since been expanded to take in those with long—term conditions, but who may not have what the legislation calls "a reasonably foreseeable death". that's led to canada having some of the highest rates of euthanasia in the world — more than 13,000 deaths in 2022. and it's that kind of development that worries those in the uk who are against any change to the law. so i think the big concern for me is safety.

it's ensuring that those who are perhaps more vulnerable in our society to being coerced into an assisted death are protected from that. a classic example would be talking with someone about going to a care home. patients will say to me, "well, i don't want to go to a care home really, but i know my family want me to do it and i know it will be easierfor them, so i think i'm going to say yes." now, that example doesn't intrinsically worry us, but substitute the words "go to a care home" with "have an assisted death" and i think it's a completely different picture. but liz also meets others who are living with disabilities, but who do want the law on assisted dying changed to allow them to have a choice on whether to end their life, should it come to that. hello, liz. thanks for this. come on in. i'm so sorry about the weather. come on in. when she was in her 50s, melanie reid had an accident while horse riding, and says

she wants to control her future. i have a human right to decide what happens to my body. mm—hm. and i rather sort of resent the fact that it is almost like one small group imposing its values upon a larger group. well, i would see the small group as those wanting medically assisted suicide. there's two lines here. for some people, if they ever got in that position, it acts as an insurance policy. it's helpful to know it's there in case. and many people won't even use it, but they want to know it's a possibility. and then there's another group of people for whom the fact that it's a possibility is frightening. the covid—19 pandemic showed how vulnerable those living with disabilities, and the elderly, can be. new laws on assisted dying are being debated on the isle of man, and the government injersey is considering a change.

there are still very real concerns about what this all means, and the consequences that could follow. dominic hughes, bbc news. and liz's documentary, better off dead?, will air next tuesday at 9pm on bbc one and iplayer. and she willjoin us a little bit later in the programme this morning, be good to talk to her. earlier, we told you about how one council in england is banning the use of apostroph... i can't say it! apostrophes on street signs because it confuses it systems. well, you've been letting us know what you make of the move. linda from the west midlands said she doesn't mind if the council wants to get rid of apostrophes but we should keep the meaning. so st mary's walk should become the walk belonging to saint mary.

i think that's more complicated. yeah, yeah. annette said that it's pure laziness to use incorrect punctuation. she thinks it's incredibly sad to see. michael from southeast london sent in this picture of st clement's road. he says the council have covered all bases by having street signs both with and without apostrophes. laughter no! emilia ema“,, karen thinks the use of the apostrophe is part of our heritage and we should be keeping it alive. sue lives in kings lynn — that's king's with an apostrophe — she has asked if the grammar vigilante would be free to come and correct her town's train station sign, which has also dropped the symbol. hang on, king's station, has not got the apostrophe?— the apostrophe? apparently not. do aet the apostrophe? apparently not. do net in the apostrophe? apparently not. do get in touch — the apostrophe? apparently not. do get in touch with _ the apostrophe? apparently not. do

get in touch with your— the apostrophe? apparently not. do get in touch with your views - the apostrophe? apparently not. do get in touch with your views and i get in touch with your views and make sure the punctuation is 100% correct, please. the number is on your screen. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. sadiq khan will start his third term as london's mayor today, with a pledge to make the capital the best city in the world to grow up in. he beat conservative rival susan hall in the mayoral election, with the result announced at city hall on saturday. later today, he will take the declaration of office and will also commit to keeping london at the "forefront of climate action". rail passengers are being warned to check before travelling as strike action is affecting a number of services this week. drivers from the aslef union are walking out in a row over pay and conditions with rail companies warning there will be limited services. warning there will be so warning there will be for londoners wanting to trav over so for londoners wanting to travel over the course of the next week, services will be disrupted from bank

holiday monday through to saturday the 11th of may, so the advice is to go to our website to check for all of the latest information. please do that on the day you travel in case there are any short notice alterations, and please do allow extra time for your journey, alterations, and please do allow extra time for yourjourney, because we are expecting the trains that are running to be busy. let's take a look at the tubes now. the bakerloo and circle lines have minor delays. district is part suspended and hammersmith and city and metropolitan line have severe delays. now onto the weather. early mist and fog patches will gradually clear to allow some spells of sunshine to develop. a few light showers during the afternoon. warm in the sunshine. highs of 20 degrees celsius. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. plenty more on our website. bye for now.

good morning. it's eight o'clock. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today... israel rejects a peace deal for gaza and goes ahead with fighting in rafa — but it says negotiations will continue. there had been hope in gaza after hamas said it would accept the ceasefire plan that could allow more aid into the territory. the government suspects that china was begind a major hack of a ministry of defence database which means the details of some military personnel have been accessed. planning a train trip this week? don't count on it!

good morning. train drivers are striking across 16 operatiors and most services will take a hit. we have the details. the new research that suggests the amount of treated sewage being pumped into england's biggest lake — windermere — is causing it's waters to turn green. the life of a full—time carer — we follow lindsey burrow as she cares for rugby legend and capaigner rob, who has motor neurone disease. and some dry weather at long last. today, fewer showers around, some avoid them altogether. i will have the full forecast here on breakfast. good morning, all. it's tuesday 7th of may. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, says a ceasefire deal approved by hamas is a long way from meeting his country's demands, but negotiations will continue today. israel has stepped up its military operation around rafah in southern gaza, launching air strikes and seizing

control of the palestinian side of the crossing into egypt. 100,000 refugees had been told to move from rafah to what israel called a humanitarian zone near khan younis — an area gazans say is already overcrowded. our reporter vincent mcaviney has more. overnight, israel conducted what it described as targeted strikes against hamas in eastern rafah. late last night, the israeli government rejected the latest peace plan, but said it would continue negotiating, though there are reports they have taken over the palestinian side of the rafah border crossing with egypt. earlier there were jubilant scenes

in gaza when it was suggested that hamas had accepted the ceasefire proposal being brokered by qatari and egyptian mediators. the details of the deal are still not confirmed, but it's thought to include the release of all hostages in return for palestinian prisoners and free movement in the gaza strip. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has already declared the proposed deal to be short of expectations. in tel aviv, the families of those abducted on october 7th once again took to the streets. they said they were pleased the delegation had quickly been dispatched by their government, but demanded they not return until an agreement is signed for the return of all hostages. we expect from the israeli government to take this deal to save all the remaining hostages who are still alive. but after benjamin netanyahu pledged the total destruction of hamas, a ceasefire deal that fails to accomplish that risks breaking israel's wartime coalition government. so for the idf, the fighting continues.

translation: we examine every proposal very seriously, _ and we review every possibility on the issue of negotiations and the return of the hostages to their homes as quickly as possible, and as a central task. at the same time, we carry on with our operations in the gaza strip, and will continue to do so _ in washington, the biden administration has been publicly warning israel against an incursion into rafah. they've described the talks as being at a critical and highly sensitive stage. six months out from an election, president biden will be applying maximum pressure on both sides to help his chances. the people of rafah were awoken yesterday to leaflets warning them to evacuate. but with an estimated 1.4 million internally displaced palestinians struggling to survive in the city with little food and poor conditions, for most, this wasn't possible. they can only hope the negotiations over the border in egypt might

finally bring them some peace. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. it feels like a crucial moment in this conflict. live now to jerusalem. we can talk now to our middle east correspondent yolande knell. we know there are more talks due to happen today about a potential peace plan, but military action has happened overnight? that is correct, and what the israeli military _ overnight? that is correct, and what the israeli military has _ overnight? that is correct, and what the israeli military has said - overnight? that is correct, and what the israeli military has said this i the israeli military has said this morning is it now has the operational control of the palestinian side of the rafah crossing between gaza and egypt, this key crossing point. it says that in overnight air strikes it has killed something like 20 hamas terrorists, in its words. it is also found and destroyed three tunnel shafts, it says, and witnesses said they could see israeli tanks moving on in that area. they could hear constant israeli bombardment overnight, flares lighting up the

night sky. at the moment, the israeli army are stressing that this is a limited and they say precise operation, and falls far short of what the international community has really been warning against, a full—scale offensive in rafah which israel has been saying is needed to dismantle hamas. but all of that is happening as this ceasefire and hostage release deal very much hangs in the balance. we are told that qatari negotiators, part of the negotiation team, we will be returning to cairo through the course of the day, and it is a very confusing picture about what exactly hamas has accepted here, because you had one unnamed israeli official going to the media and saying this was a watered—down proposal that had originally come from egypt, and it fell far short of what israel could agree to. you had another official saying that this was a very similar to what israel had proposed itself at the end of last month.

thank you very much indeed. it is six minutes per state, and sally has more of today's news, including a development on the data breach. that's right, jon. the government suspects that china was behind the hack on a third party payroll system used by the ministry of defence. the personal data of some members of the uk armed forces was stolen. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster. henry, this developmentjust coming in the last few moments?— in the last few moments? that's ri . ht. in the last few moments? that's right- when _ in the last few moments? that's right. when we _ in the last few moments? that's right. when we spoke _ in the last few moments? that's right. when we spoke earlier- in the last few moments? that's right. when we spoke earlier i l in the last few moments? that's i right. when we spoke earlier i said that the government wasn't going to identify a suspect. that is still the case. we won't hear from the government today about who they think might have been behind this hack of armed forces data. but i understand that the top of government, the culprit they currently suspect is china. they believe that china was behind this data breach. let'sjust recap believe that china was behind this data breach. let's just recap what the breach was. whoever these hackers were, they accessed the

armed forces payroll system, so that is what has been described as hmrc style data, things like names of tens of thousands of people who serve in three branches of the armed forces, but also bank details, and in a very limited, just a few cases, also their personal addresses. so what the government is going to do todayis what the government is going to do today is twofold. first they are going to communicate with those affected and reassure them, they hope, about how to protect their personal data. more about a risk of fraud than anything about personal safety. they are also going to address mps, and although they aren't going to say who they think the culprit is, a lot of mps will be urging the government to be tough on china. iain duncan smith, former conservative leader has written on twitter that this is yet another example of why the uk government must admit that china poses a threat to the uk. still not a lot of detail about this case, but i think that thatis about this case, but i think that that is where the debate is going. henry, thank you very much.

at least five people have now died following the collapse of a five storey building in south africa. emergency services are working to rescue more than 50 construction workers trapped after an apartment building collapsed in george yesterday. more than 20 people are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. rescuers are reported to have made contact with some people still buried under the rubble. a fresh series of rail strikes is under way in the long—running pay dispute between the train drivers' union aslef and 16 operators. the action is likely to lead to cancellations, delays and there will be no trains running at all in some areas over the next three days. train drivers are also taking part in a six—day overtime ban. humza yousaf is expected to formally resign as scotland's first minister later. john swinney was appointed unopposed as leader of the snp yesterday, and he'll now ask for parliamentary backing to become the new first minister. mr swinney says he'll "seek common ground" with political opponents and urged those against scottish

independence "to work with" the snp. in the last hour, energy giant bp has released its results for the first quarter of this year. nina has the details. iam, thank i am, thank you, sally. bp made £2.2 billion in the first quarter of this year. that is a lot of money, of course, but less than they predicted and around a 45% drop in profits compared to the same period last year. why? well, we've seen the wholesale cost of energy go through the roof, then come back down. they're not alone — shell also saw a dip last week, too. today bp offered some detail into their ongoing work to meet net—zero emissions by 2050. they have also paid hundreds of millions in windfall tax. and don't forget — thousands of british pensions are invested in their success. nonetheless, this is a lot of money. £2.2 billion in profit at a time when we're paying more

than 1.50 at the pump, and trying to claw back reserves after two years of high energy bills. nina, thank you. newly qualified drivers could face restrictions for the first six months after passing their test, under new proposals being outlined in parliament today. the changes could include a zero0alcohol limit and controls on the number of young passengers allowed in the car. road safety campaigners say the plans would reduce the number of road—related deaths and injuries. they're going to actually have six months where they can concentrate on learning how to drive. it's a bit of a cliche, isn't it? we say, "you pass your test and then you learn how to drive." well, let's give new drivers and young drivers that time and space to learn to drive, to increase their confidence, and then they will be much safer drivers going forward. it is 11 minutes past eight. a—listers have hit the green carpet with a flourish at this year's garden—inspired met gala.

it is all inspired by gardening. beautiful flowers there. the prestigious fashion event held in new york welcomed celebrities who were invited to show off their best floral outfits. among them were famous brits brooklyn beckham and singer—songwriter raye. not floral, but i guess it is whatever you want. in photographs from the night, singer tyla had to be carried up the stairs in her sand—textured dress, which appeared to be moulded to her body. i think it was heavy, probably. she had to be picked up and carried to the top of the stairs. she looks like she is enjoying it, though. she would be carried to the sofa tomorrow? i reckon she can't sit down and it. i think she is trying to get her monies worth. tickets to the event are rumoured to cost upwards of £56,000. that's before you include the

costume. do you think he read the job description when he applied for thejob? it is 12 minutes past eight. here's matt with a look at the weather. he is promising some of the sunshine. i he is promising some of the sunshine-— he is promising some of the sunshine. : :, , :, :, :, he is promising some of the sunshine. : :, :, :, :, sunshine. i certainly am, a lot more sunshine. i certainly am, a lot more sunshine that _ sunshine. i certainly am, a lot more sunshine that we _ sunshine. i certainly am, a lot more sunshine that we have _ sunshine. i certainly am, a lot more sunshine that we have seen - sunshine. i certainly am, a lot more sunshine that we have seen over- sunshine. i certainly am, a lot more| sunshine that we have seen over the last few weeks, certainly. good morning. a beautiful start here in reading. elsewhere there is a little mist and low cloud, and here is the crucial bit that most of you will want to see. for the vast majority it will be a dry day. if you are about to step out, temperatures at the moment around nine to 12 degrees, not too chilly out there, but some dense patches of mist and fog around, the sunshine will develop more through the day. staying cloudy through scotland, damp and drizzly for some throughout, but the afternoon, those

showers are still possible across parts of western england and wales, but noticed they are very small, fairly isolated, the vast majority will stay dry, and it will feel pleasantly warm. a little bit cooler, only around 11 to 13. it keeps the pollen levels at bay, rising to high levels, and don't forget, now the sun is getting stronger, high uv levels possible. into tonight, still a bit misty and damp across parts of scotland, and eastern areas in england, temperatures tonight very similar to last night. it will get warmer and for many it will be a predominantly dry week. thank you very much, matt.

on breakfast, we've followed the story of rugby league legend rob burrow and his family since his diagnosis with motor neurone disease in 2019. rob's wife lindsey is his full—time carer, mum to their three young children and a physiotherapist for the nhs. now, lindsey is sharing her own experiences to help raise awareness of the millions of unpaid carers across the uk. graham satchell has their story. looks like it's a nice day today. did you sleep all right? let me clean your teeth, rob. the day starts early for lindsey burrow. let's pop your collar on. since her husband rob's diagnosis with motor neurone disease, she's become his full—time carer. next on the list, getting breakfast ready for her three children. got some clothes on? yep, ok. upstairs, macy and maya are up and dressed. good morning. morning. jackson needs a bit more persuading. quick, before that smile

turns into a frown. there you go. lindsey is constantly juggling. she's a mum, a physiotherapist for the nhs, a wife and a full—time carer. have you still got that wipe, or did you chuck it? getting the children to school is just the start of a busy day that is focused primarily around caring for her husband. commentator: burrow. dancing steps by him. and off he goes! rob burrow was a rugby league legend. he won title after title with the leeds rhinos. he was diagnosed with mnd in 2019. up we go. big stand. there we go, well done. for me, i think it'sjust the most devastating, cruel disease. one, two, three. we had three beautiful children. rob was just starting his career in coaching, having had a successful career playing rugby, i was doing well in my profession. so life was pretty perfect. so to get that diagnosis, yeah,

it turned our world upside down. lindsey has become responsible for every bit of rob's care. she feeds him, washes him, clothes him, gives him his medication. so because rob's muscles don't work, it's really difficult. so once he's kind of got the tablets in his mouth, to actually get the cup in for him to take the tablets is quite tricky. but we usually manage, don't we? where there's a will, there's a way. there we go. there's a small army of people in the country doing what lindsey does, unpaid carers struggling every day in the most difficult of circumstances. these carers are basically keeping the country going. you know, £162 billion is the equivalent of a second nhs service. and the sacrifices that i think people have to make and the selflessness of people that are carers, you know, always kind of having to put other people before yourself and putting other people's...

it can be quite a lonely and dark place at times. so rob goes to his mum and dads twice a week. so he goes when i work on a tuesday, and on a thursday as well. so they're pivotal, really, in terms of me being able to go to work. so i'm very fortunate that they're hands—on with with rob's care. lindsey is dropping rob at his mum and dads. hello. kev�*s going to come and see rob this afternoon. irene is a key part of the machinery of care. is that 0k? is that a no? do you want to be sat up more? wait a minute, then, linds. do you want to be sat back, shuffled back a bit more...? yes, shuffe him back a bit more. one, two, three, three. up we go. that's it. that looks better. 0k, rob.

lindsey has come to meet kalvinder, who cares for her dad. hi, is it kalvinder? hello. thank you. this is my dad. this is at my graduation. kalvinder�*s dad has dementia. caring for him has become a full—timejob. how has it changed you? what challenges do you face? i don't have a life. people suffer, families suffer. it takes it out on them. it takes it out on them mentally, physically, you name it. - financially as well, you know? and it hurts. all aspects of it hurt. you know, it's not nice. what impact has being a carer had on you and your health? emotionally? sorry... are you ok? yeah. um... i don't see my children or my grandchildren. l i think that's the hardest part.

i do it because i want to do it. i do it because i love him. it hits home. when you see people that are just, you know, financially they're struggling, emotionally, physically, you know, these people are worn out. it's really... it pulls on your heartstrings. it's heartbreaking to see. baby's first... this is her first best birthday party. there she is. lindsey's mum and dad looking at baby photos of their daughter. happy memories, eh? she was a lovely little girl. all the way through life, she's been... . she's done well, and... perfect. sharon and graham are also doing what they can to help. i can honestly say, living within this area, if love could have cured rob then he would have been cured. because there's been so much love. we have so much love and laughter, don't we? and that's what we continue to do. very proud of her, very proud. but very sad that this has

happened to her, really, because she's just a young girl, isn't she? you just got a bit of sleep, i think. lindsey is writing a book about her experience as a carer. she says if she can help one person by telling her story, it's worth it. rob uses a special computer called an eye gaze to help him talk. you could not put into words how grateful i am to have met lindsey. i'm trying not to be soppy, but some of the things that lindsey does for me is proof that i have found my one and only. i played with some strong players in my rugby career, but no one is as strong a personality than lindsey. i hope her book will inspire people to be more like her. what a world that would be. what is it that keeps me going? i have three beautiful children. i have a husband who i adore and i think the world of, and he is battling a life—limiting disease. the fact that he is so positive, and the fact that he is an inspiration to all of us, and i think the message,

the key message is to live each day to its fullest and to enjoy life. and that's. .. since rob's diagnosis, we've, you know, we've tried to show that, you know, despite the situation, there's still reason to smile. i know that lindsey is working on the book at the moment, it is not due out until next year, but it is going to be for anyone who cares, anyone who has a family who needs care, and anybody who wants to hear about her philosophy when it comes to caring for rob and her positivity. and she is always smiling! we can talk more on the issue of unpaid carers now with emily holzhausen from carers uk. good morning. so many families affected by this. what kind of numbers are we talking about across the country? we numbers are we talking about across the country?— the country? we are talking about 5.7 the country? we are talking about 5-7 million — the country? we are talking about 5.7 million people _ the country? we are talking about 5.7 million people who _ the country? we are talking about 5.7 million people who are - the country? we are talking about 5.7 million people who are caringl 5.7 million people who are caring for their older or disabled relatives, and across england and

wales about 1.5 million to over 50 hours of care, so that is quite often 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we have some people getting up in the middle of the night to care frequently as well. we in the middle of the night to care frequently as well.— frequently as well. we talk a lot about the emotional _ frequently as well. we talk a lot about the emotional burden i frequently as well. we talk a lot about the emotional burden of l about the emotional burden of caring. we could see from lindsey's film there the physical challenges of caring for somebody. how tough can it be? it of caring for somebody. how tough can it be? .., , , can it be? it can be extremely touch, can it be? it can be extremely tough. and — can it be? it can be extremely tough. and is _ can it be? it can be extremely tough, and is caring _ can it be? it can be extremely tough, and is caring behind i can it be? it can be extremely i tough, and is caring behind closed doors, it is often a private matter that people don't see. carers have told us that 82% have said that the physical and emotional demands of caring will be a real challenge this year, and about one in five have had a physical injury as a result of caring, just because of the very physical nature of moving, lifting, and the constant pressure, without getting enough support, really. stand getting enough support, really. and the financial — getting enough support, really. and the financial pressures as well. we have got one message just come to ourinbox have got one message just come to our inbox from a breakfast viewer

who says they are at breaking point. she says, i'm a full—time carer for my mum who had a serious stroke 12 years ago. rather than put him in a care home i decided to give up work and take care of her at my home. as and take care of her at my home. as a family, over the last decade we have had to find £105,000 to contribute towards her care plan. i can only claim carer�*s allowance at £288 per month, i have a mortgage to pay and two children living at home. there are so many stories like that behind front doors.— behind front doors. absolutely. nearl a behind front doors. absolutely. nearly a million _ behind front doors. absolutely. nearly a million people - behind front doors. absolutely. nearly a million people get i behind front doors. absolutely. i nearly a million people get carer's allowance, it is the lowest benefit of its kind. it is only £81.90 per week. and you have to provide 35 hours of care a week. this is where we seek carers saving the state 162 billion a year, the equivalent of the nhs. our question is, shouldn't we be doing more for people, making sure that people have the right support and proving finances and are

making this journey easier for them and theirfamilies. making this journey easier for them and their families.— making this journey easier for them and their families. because you talk about some — and their families. because you talk about some people _ and their families. because you talk about some people doing _ and their families. because you talk about some people doing 50 i and their families. because you talk about some people doing 50 hours. and their families. because you talk. about some people doing 50 hours or more a week. it is more than a full—timejob because more a week. it is more than a full—time job because very often the people who are caring and notjust caring for one person, like lindsey, they are caring for a whole host of other people as well.— other people as well. absolutely. lindse is other people as well. absolutely. lindsey is still _ other people as well. absolutely. lindsey is stilljuggling _ other people as well. absolutely. lindsey is stilljuggling work i other people as well. absolutely. lindsey is stilljuggling work and | lindsey is stilljuggling work and care, she needs that whole package around her. we are short of workers in the nhs, one in three nhs workers are unpaid carers. but a lot of people, thatjugglejust are unpaid carers. but a lot of people, thatjuggle just becomes too much. their health deteriorates, and 600 people a day give out work to care, and you can imagine the financial cost of that, when people give up work. in the or long term for their pensions and their financial future, for their pensions and their financialfuture, if for their pensions and their financial future, if that is where we really need to do better for people to make sure people are healthier and get more support. stand healthier and get more support. and if --eole healthier and get more support. and if people are watching this morning and they feel like the viewer whose e—mail i ran out, they feel like

they are at breaking point. what can they are at breaking point. what can they do? or can they turn to? if somebody is watching right now. carers uk has a lot of information on our website about where to get financial support, and local authorities have a responsibility to do a carer assessment, so reach out, share with friends and family as well. the more we can create awareness of something where people feel very isolated, the better. things will be for carers. and of course we do need more investment from government at the end of the day to make life better for carers. emily, thank you very much indeed for coming in. thank you. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. let's find out what they have in store with gethin and janette. coming up, nearly three and a half years after the first injection, the drugs firm astrazeneca is facing legal action over injuries and deaths linked to the company's covid vaccine. the newspaper headlines are scary — dr ranj explains if you need to be worried.

so that we still give the access to the community — and then we sow the grass seeds on the main pitch for the football team. more teenagers are taking up fishing, with a 23% rise in the number of young people applying forjunior licences year on year, with around 50,000 issued. the charity get hooked on fishing runs sessions for young people. sophie's been fishing since she was little and says there are lots of benefits. the fish, of course, are going to be slimy, and some of the bait�*s going to be weird, but it'sjust like, it doesn't matter. you're in nature, which is already quite nice, and you can, like, forgetabout, like, everything. you can forget about school, work, problems. let's take a look at the tubes now. weather now, with kate. good morning.

there's a fair amount of mist around first thing this morning, but that will lift to a fine, largely dry day and, at last, the temperature is starting to feel a little bit warmer. any remnants of yesterday's front down in the southeast will clear to sunshine. we'll see some patchy cloud bubbling up, which brings the risk of an isolated shower, but largely dry for most, and temperatures today in that sunshine feeling warm at 20 celsius. overnight, the cloud and any showers will clear, so some clear spells to start with, nut then the cloud will start to edge in from the east, turning quite murky by dawn tomorrow. minimum temperature, six celsius. now, high pressure is still in charge for tomorrow and i guess it could be quite a cloudy, grey start, but that cloud's going to thin and break, we'll see any mist lift, and we'll get a day of sunshine. temperatures tomorrow again getting up to around 21 celsius, sojust sneaking up a little higher. now that high pressure is going to stay with us through this week, so settled conditions throughout — largely dry and fine, some sunshine — and temperatures by the end of the week at 23 celsius. i'll be back with another update in half an hour.

overtime for union members. that is the orange banner. that started yesterday and will go on until saturday. but then there are more operator specific strikes across the week. today, these are the operators affected. you can see they mostly serve the south east, and commuter services in and out of london. tomorrow, most of the services affected are these long—distance intercityjourneys — including the west coast and midland main lines. thursday, it's the east coast mainlines and in the north of england facing disruption under these providers. this is a dispute that has been rattling on for almost two years. so why are they striking? here's travel journalist simon calder. we're now into a third summer of strikes by train drivers belonging to the aslef union. at the heart, it's all about pay

and working arrangements. the union says, "yeah, we — in some cases — haven't had a pay rise for five years. we want a decent no—strings increase, and then we can talk about maybe changing some working arrangements." a government which ultimately is going to be signing off any agreement says, "look, you can have a modest increase, but that is contingent on making large changes to the way you work." caught in the middle of this — the passenger. so what should you do if you need to travel this week? obviously check with your rail company before you travel, and follow the latest guidance online. tickets should be accepted on other services, but if you decide not to travel because of strikes and want a refund, it'll depend on the ticket you have — so, again, worth checking. if your plan is to cross your fingers and hope it will all be

0k, don't count on it. here's ourfriend simon again. we're now pretty settled into the pattern of what happens during train drivers' industrial action — there's a long overtime ban — which, because of the staff shortage in a number of train operators, means you're going to see cancellations right through the week. and on top of that, you've got rolling strikes which are really aiming at disrupting as many journeys as possible for minimum loss of pay. how will this end? aslef say that they've not had any formal negotiations on a pay offer since april last year. but the rail delivery group — which represents train companies — says they've written to union bosses asking for informal talks in the hope of finding common ground. ultimately, the government has final sign—off on any deal, and it says the pay offer it's already made would take train drivers' average salaries up to £65,000 — almost twice the uk average. you've not been holding back in your views on the ongoing

train drivers' strike. train driver carl says... "i will be on strike tomorrow. none of us want to be here, but why does the government think we should fund our own pay increase? it's not a one—size—fits—all." carl would like us all to know he's used the apostrophe correctly! sarah from sevenoaks is not happy, though. she says it's utterly selfish behaviour from train drivers — they need a reality check and understand they are already paid a substantial salary. although we did get another e—mail saying they should be paid a substantial amount, saying they should be paid a substantialamount, it saying they should be paid a substantial amount, it comes with a lot of disruption to personal life and responsibility. the bottom line is they are not budging this week, certainly not before the strikes conclude on saturday. ihla certainly not before the strikes conclude on saturday. no progress. nina, conclude on saturday. no progress. nina. thank — conclude on saturday. no progress. nina, thank you. _ windermere — england's largest lake — is a beautiful spot. but a couple of years ago it turned bright green with blooming algae.

and now researchers think a high number of visitors might have been to blame. a report which analysed satellite imagery and mobile phone data suggested a link. campaigners are concerned that the blooms are caused by sewage discharges during these busy periods. 0ur environment correspondent jonah fisher has more. before swimming in lake windermere, it's best to check the water. it looks really good, very clear. i'm with pete kelly — he runs wild—swimming trips across the lake district. there isn't a second level there, which means there's no poo in the water. and is it cold? absolutely freezing. checks complete — and well insulated — we head out into one of england's most beautiful natural wonders. it's the most iconic lake in the country. it's the longest lake in england. it's surrounded by beautiful fells. you get that real big—lake experience.

but lake windermere is, according to campaigners, in big trouble. it's a bit cold, but it's beautifully clear out there in the water today. but it's not always like that — a combination of high nutrient levels and warm temperatures mean that, particularly in the summer, lake windermere has been turning green. this was the same spot in the summer of 2022. it's called an algal bloom, and can kill fish, and even become toxic. fears about the health of the lake have led to a high—profile campaign, with feargal sharkey and comedian steve coogan recent visitors. they're blaming sewage discharges from the local water company. so do they have a point? 0n the right—hand side here, we're beginning to see a build—up of chlorophyll happening. funded by the uk space agency, richard flemmings used satellite

images to determine the green chlorophyll content in the lake, and then analysed it alongside mobile—phone data. what we've been able to do is to understand how many people were in the catchment on specific days. we could then take that and link that to these chlorophyll events, so we can see a direct statistical correlation between number of visitors and chlorophyll content in the lake. so when there are lots of people around lake windermere, it leads to blooming. we've seen within this that one of the factors that leads to blooming is having more people within the catchment area. so i'm taking you now to langdale final treated effluent pipe. so is sewage the link between visitor numbers and algal blooms? campaigner matt staniek certainly thinks so. the connection is more people here, more pressure

on local infrastructure. bubbling, he chuckles. and, lo and behold, we say united utilities, and that starts happening. so this is treated? this is treated sewage. we put our camera in the water. this is what legal treated effluent looks like. 1.1 million litres can be discharged from this spot every day. the big difference that we want to make as a campaign — it's notjust the untreated that's causing the issue, it's also the treated sewage that comes from united utilities. and the only way to protect windermere, protect local businesses, protect the environment and the culture and the economy of the area is to stop putting it into the lake. that would require a very long pipe that effectively bypassed the lake, and would come with a multi—million—pound price tag. united utilities said in a statement...

this is new. i haven't seen this one before. so what now? barney cunliffe owns a michelin—starred restaurant near the lake. if — as the research suggests — tourists are at least part of the problem, should there be limits on visitors? we can't be told, "0h, you've got to stop growing because our waste isn't being treated properly." we've paid for that waste to be treated! we deserve to have that infrastructure in place to enable us to grow sustainably. there are solutions that will make our seas, rivers and lakes — like windermere — cleaner, but they're expensive, and the water companies are very clear that it's customers who must pay for them through higher bills.

jonah fisher, bbc news, in the lake district. we're joined now by andy brown from the environment agency, who is also chair of love windermere, a cross—sector partnership created to protect the environment. it isa it is a gorgeous spot, everybody loves windermere, but how convinced are you that there is a link between visitor numbers and the kind of scenes we saw a couple of years ago when lake goes green?— when lake goes green? thanks for askin: me when lake goes green? thanks for asking me to _ when lake goes green? thanks for asking me to come _ when lake goes green? thanks for asking me to come and _ when lake goes green? thanks for asking me to come and talk - when lake goes green? thanks for asking me to come and talk this. l asking me to come and talk this. there is clearly... the lake district and windermere in particular is a honey spot, we all love it, i have been there many times and there is something about the place and the water and the like, the hills, thatjust draws us in. but algae comes from a number of factors, one weather, low water levels, so in summer 2022 the lake was at a lower level because we have had a dry period. it is an

interesting thing produced with the uk space agency, especially with mobile phone data, but it doesn't conclusively make the link that visitors cause problems. it suggests there may be an issue but it is not conclusive and it reinforces a lot of the work that our scientific experts and the environment agency have done in understanding what goes on in the lake in terms of nutrients causing algal blooms. we on in the lake in terms of nutrients causing algal blooms.— on in the lake in terms of nutrients causing algal blooms. we saw treated sewaue causing algal blooms. we saw treated sewage going — causing algal blooms. we saw treated sewage going into _ causing algal blooms. we saw treated sewage going into the _ causing algal blooms. we saw treated sewage going into the lake. _ causing algal blooms. we saw treated sewage going into the lake. we - causing algal blooms. we saw treated sewage going into the lake. we talk. sewage going into the lake. we talk on this programme a lot about sewage and sewage going into rivers and lakes. how safe is treated sewage, how clean is that water, and could you pick it up in a glass and drink it? 1 you pick it up in a glass and drink it? , ., , you pick it up in a glass and drink it? , ._ ., �* you pick it up in a glass and drink it? , ., �*, it? i personally wouldn't be drinkina it? i personally wouldn't be drinking sewage _ it? i personally wouldn't be drinking sewage that - it? i personally wouldn't be drinking sewage that has i it? i personally wouldn't be i drinking sewage that has been discharged. that would be unwise for any of us, i'm not pretending that would be safe. but windermere is an example, it has four bailing water sites classed as excellent through

the apostrophe is arguably one of the most misused pieces of punctuation in the english language, and now one council has banned it altogether. north yorkshire council say street names are more difficult to search for online — or on sat—navs — when they contain special characters. but the people who live there aren't so sure. one unhappy local took matters into their own hands, drawing the correct grammar back on with permanent marker. what do you think to not using apostrophes? no, i don't like it. i think you should use apostrophes. would you put them back on? yes. did you put it back on? no, definitely not! you're definitely not the grammar guru? definitely not me. trying to teach children the basics of grammar and punctuation, and then not to have it presented properly when they're out and about. yeah. bring back the apostrophe! it doesn't matter, because it's| the same, like, pronunciation. yeah? and then right now, when i tell

people my home address - or what the road i am on, for me, myself, i feel- like it's the same. if we start losing things like that, then everything goes downhill, doesn't it? signs should contain proper language. so if all these street signs are going to change, what would you say about that? if you could sum it up to north yorkshire council, what would you say to them? i'd say replace them exactly as they were. my my goodness, it is driving you all mad. ~ ., ., my goodness, it is driving you all mad. ~ . ., ,., my goodness, it is driving you all mad. ~ . ., ., , my goodness, it is driving you all mad. . ., ._ , mad. we have had so many messages from ou, mad. we have had so many messages from you. who — mad. we have had so many messages from you, who are _ mad. we have had so many messages from you, who are also _ mad. we have had so many messages from you, who are also driven - mad. we have had so many messages from you, who are also driven mad. . michael in kent spotted this sign for a local bird sanctuary. it misplaces not one, two or even three but four apostrophes and misses one out completely. look at the bottom of it! michael has been driven _ look at the bottom of it! michael has been driven mad _ look at the bottom of it! michael has been driven mad by - look at the bottom of it! michael has been driven mad by that. i look at the bottom of it! michael i has been driven mad by that. thank you very much indeed. we should have

done a warning, turn away now if you are offended! joining us now is someone who knows a lot about punctuation, susie dent. lovely to see you, this is clearly something that really bothers people. apostrophes, getting them wrong, and this decision to just abandon them altogether. what do you think? i abandon them altogether. what do you think? ., , ., ., , think? i feel really torn on this one because — think? i feel really torn on this one because there _ think? i feel really torn on this one because there is _ think? i feel really torn on this one because there is obviously elegance in the apostrophe and it does feel as though there is something lacking on those street signs. i am someone who loves semi—colon and i'm sad it is disappearing. i don't think this is the end of language rules and that our language is falling into ruin. punctuation is a subject as our vocabulary and punctuation and if you look at the history of the apostrophe itself there has never been any agreement, widespread, about how we should use it. if you go back to shakespeare's first

folio, only li% of the words in which we would use an apostrophe today for possession and things, had such punctuation. jane austin has no clue how to use the apostrophe, she was really inconsistent. some of our greatest writers, we would say it misused the apostrophe. i totally understand why people are feeling very sore about this but i would just say that this is absolutely nothing new. that is my mantra. whenever we think there is a huge mistake and english is going to the dogs, i think, mistake and english is going to the dogs, ithink, well, "like" as mistake and english is going to the dogs, i think, well, "like" as a filler has been used since the 18th century, likely as an advert since the 13th. we have been committing the 13th. we have been committing the same thing. all i would say is if these were lower case, i would be bothered more but in french, quite often with capital letters they leave the accent off, as well, and the apostrophe as i understand it

has a specific meaning or at multiple meanings in computer programming so i sort of understand the rationale. i will be diplomatic and say i can see both sides! laughter you should go into politics! for example, in names, we have had a message from christine o'brien, who says that with a surname like o'brien, it causes all kinds of problems with e—mail addresses and booking holidays online and that is the kind of issue we are talking about. we have talked about the past, can you imagine that in the future maybe we just won't have apostrophes at all?— future maybe we just won't have apostrophes at all? well, i would also think they _ apostrophes at all? well, i would also think they are _ apostrophes at all? well, i would also think they are really - apostrophes at all? well, i would i also think they are really important for clarity. even though english doesn't really have many rules, the i before c it has so many exceptions. when we trip over a word, the impact of a message is completely lost because we are going back and trying to understand

something. i cannot quite envisage that but, as i say, punctuation is changing. think of the colon and semicolon, they are being replaced by dashes and i don't think they semicolon will survive. one thing is for sure, semicolon will survive. one thing is forsure, english semicolon will survive. one thing is for sure, english keeps moving forward and it may be indirect as we don't like but it will state robust and versatile and be a language for the ages. and versatile and be a language for the ares. ., , and versatile and be a language for the ares. . , and versatile and be a language for theaaes. . , , the ages. that is so interesting. marion in chichester _ the ages. that is so interesting. marion in chichester said - the ages. that is so interesting. i marion in chichester said removing the apostrophe is the start of a slippery slope. misusing the apostrophe, though, it makes her clench her teeth. it really does... it makes people cross, doesn't it? it makes people cross, doesn't it? it really does and i think sometimes we see our language as this rock of stability when everything else is chaotic and i totally understand that. but i would just say, there has never been a golden age in english. even in shakespeare's a time, his contemporaries hated what he was doing to the language. there has never been a time when we have

got everything absolutely correct so i would say, please don't fear too much or grind your teeth too much. i know it can be annoying but i honestly... this does not mean the beginning of the end. laughter thank you very much indeed. full stop to that! we have enjoyed chatting. i am sure our viewers have come as well. chatting. i am sure our viewers have come as well-— come as well. susie always makes --eole come as well. susie always makes people feel _ come as well. susie always makes people feel calmer. _ come as well. susie always makes people feel calmer. i _ come as well. susie always makes people feel calmer. i thought i come as well. susie always makes people feel calmer. i thought she | people feel calmer. i thought she mi . ht people feel calmer. i thought she miaht be people feel calmer. i thought she might be really — people feel calmer. i thought she might be really strict _ people feel calmer. i thought she might be really strict about i people feel calmer. i thought she might be really strict about it, i people feel calmer. i thought she might be really strict about it, a l might be really strict about it, a bit of a stickler killer she is relaxed. —— look a bit of a stickler. no, she is relaxed. stay with us, headlines coming up.

live from london, this is bbc news. israel claims control of the gazan side of the rafah crossing, as ceasefire talks are set to resume in cairo. personal information of serving uk military personnel has been compromised in a hack. china is suspected to be behind the attack. and vladimir putin to be sworn in as russia's president for a fifth time, but many western governments are boycotting the inauguration. hello. i'm samantha simmonds,

welcome to the programme. the israeli military says its forces have taken control of the palestinian side of the rafah crossing which borders egypt and southern gaza. these are the latest pictures that show the view at the crossing, from on board an israeli military vehicle. aid organisations operating there say the flow of aid into the territory through the crossing has stopped. israel continued to bombard rafah overnight, after rejecting a ceasefire proposal which was put forward by international mediators and agreed by hamas. israel says the plan doesn't meet its core demands. israel is, though, sending a delegation to indirect talks in cairo. we've had this update from our correspondent, fergal keane, in jerusalem. they haven't had reason to dance for a long time. but they haven't forgotten how. even amid uncertainty about israel's position, hope springs.
