celebrate victory on derby day, but there's no shaking off the holders manchester city, who remain hot on their heels. good morning. some heavy rain in northern ireland this morning. that will push north and east during the course of the day. it is the south east that will hang on to the driest and silliest conditions for longest. all of the details later on in the programme. —— driest and sunniest. it's monday, the 29th of april. the irish government says it will pass emergency legislation to return rising numbers of asylum seekers arriving from northern ireland, because they're "fearful" of being sent to rwanda. irish ministers estimate that 80% of recent arrivals have come to the country via northern ireland but the uk government says it won't accept any asylum returns from the eu via ireland. our political correspondent helen catt reports. the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland is designed to be easy to cross. but the irish government says it's recently seen an influx of asylum seekers coming over it because they're fearful they'll be sent to rwanda

if they stay in the uk. and ireland can't return them. the irish high court ruled last month that would be unlawful because of the existence of the rwanda scheme. the irish government is now planning to pass new laws to enable it to do so. the uk government, in choosing brexit, chose to go it alone on migration. what they've actually seen since then is an increase in people seeking asylum in their country — their policies are their policies. what my objective is as minister forjustice is to ensure that we have a structure and a migration system that works. but a uk government source said that until the eu accepts the return to france of people who've crossed the channel, it won't be taking any returns from ireland. a planned meeting between the home secretary and ms mcentee has been postponed. the prime minister told sky news the situation showed the scheme was already working. the deterrent is, according to your comment, already having an impact because people are worried about coming here and that demonstrates

exactly what i'm saying. if people come to our country illegally but know that they won't be able to stay, they're much less likely to come. small boat crossings have been made in record numbers this year. the latest figures show 7,000 migrants arrived this way before the end of april. labour says it shows the plan isn't working. the home office said it was in the final stages of making the rwanda scheme operational. several papers are reporting that migrants will start being detained this week before the first flight is due to leave in ten to 12 weeks�* time. helen catt, bbc news. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster. henry, there are reports that the government wants to begin detaining asylum seekers sooner than anticipated? we have spoken a lot in the last few weeks about what was happening here in parliament to do with the

government's the wonder legislation. legislation designed to finally get a flight at asylum seekers of the ground to rwanda. there are reports the home office will begin detaining asylum seekers they want to put on those flights perhaps as soon as this week. they will detain people when they turn up for immigration meetings and bail appointments. routine appointments. taken to detention centres and in ten to 12 weeks, they will be put on a plane to rwanda. that is slightly sooner than people thought. people thought they might begin the process later on in the timeline, closer to when a flight would take off. there is a reminder there are still questions over whether the legislation from rishi sunak has done the trick. it was designed to be up legal protections for this scheme. flights

have not been able to take off before because of legal challenges and a policy as it stood was unlawful. the law passed last week was designed to overcome that. we will send get an answer to that. labour says there is no sign the plan is working a point to new home office figures released yesterday, 0ffice figures released yesterday, showing 7000 people arrived in small boats before the end of april, the highest figure since records began in 2018. we are also watching lace at began in 2018. we are also watching place at events _ began in 2018. we are also watching place at events in _ began in 2018. we are also watching place at events in scotland. - the bbc understands that humza yousaf is considering resigning as first minister of scotland rather than face a no confidence vote, that he might lose. 0ur scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie joins us now. alexandra, it looks like time is running out for the first minister? we are at bute house, an official residence of the first minister in

scotland. it has certainly been a very difficult few days for humza yousaf. the stakes could not be higher for him this yousaf. the stakes could not be higherfor him this morning. he has been the first minister of scotland for just over been the first minister of scotland forjust over a year, took over from nicola sturgeon. now, we understand he is considering his position. we understand resignation is an option but a final decision has not been taken. if you remember, this has unravelled that he quickly since thursday when humza yousaf abruptly ended the snp power—sharing deal with the scottish green party. there had been increasing tension between the two parties, particularly after the two parties, particularly after the snp dropped key climate change targets. this decision to end the agreement has left humza yousaf with agreement has left humza yousaf with a minority government, with no opposition allies and in the vulnerable position that he finds

himself in now. he is facing two votes of no confidence this week and to survive the no—confidence vote in his leadership he needs the support of at least one member of the opposition at holyrood. that will be very difficult. we hear he has willed out the alba party and the green party is furious with him at this point. —— he has ruled out. mps will debate assisted dying for the first time in almost two years today, after a petition — backed by dame esther rantzen — secured more than 200,000 signatures. assisted suicide is illegal in england, wales and northern ireland. in scotland, it is not a specific criminal offence but people who help others to end their lives risk being charged with murder or other offences. the debate will not involve a vote. the goverment wants to make significant changes to the main disability benefit, personal independence payments, or pip. it's suggested that some people suffering from less serious mental health conditions could no longer be eligible for the benefit.

the charity scope said it was a "reckless assault on disabled people. " 0ur disability news correspondent nikki fox has this report. the main thing i use my pip for is my wheelchair accessible vehicle to get me to university. pio helps me pay for our easy cook and ready meals. it enabled me — to get my powered wheelchair because i didn't qualify for motability. i use it every day. it's given me so much more freedom. life for disabled people is expensive, with many using personal independence payments or pip to help cover the extra costs that come with having a disability. pip can be life—changing and it shouldn't be so difficult for disabled people to access it because it really, really helps a lot of us. 2.6 million working age disabled people, or those with a long term

health condition, receive it. but now the government wants to bring that number down. paul has been receiving pip since 2016 when he was diagnosed by his gp with anxiety and depression. i had a lot of negative thoughts. i used to call myself zero because i had zero money coming in. i had nojob. more than 5,000 people a month received pip for conditions like paul's. the government says as a result, the benefits bill is rising at an unsustainable rate. it really makes a big difference, both for me and my wife. i've done counselling. i mean, the problem is that i've sort of exhausted what the nhs can offer. so we are sort of reliant on trying to find ways of managing my mental health. it does just help a little bit. it doesn't solve the problems. it's not a miracle cure. it doesn't mean that we can go off on holidays and live this frivolous lifestyle. slide it into the gap.

the government says it wants to overhaul the system to help some people through targeted individual support rather than through monthly cash payments. but plans to change the way pip is delivered has angered charities. perfect. good. there's definitely a conversation to be had about how we can improve pip for people who need to use it. what we shouldn't be having a conversation about is taking money away from people, who face very real extra costs as a result of their disability. sadly, the proposals from government are all about cutting your benefits, are all about increasing sanctions and conditionality, much more about the stick rather than any sort of carrot of providing people with genuine support that's built on trust that does work for disabled people, any talk of changing such an essential benefit aimed at financially levelling the playing field is a worry when life just costs more. nikki fox, bbc news. more body parts have been found by police investigating the death of a man after a torso was found at a nature reserve in greater manchester.

police say they believe the victim was a man in his 60s from salford and his family have been informed. 0livia richwald reports. more grim discoveries in a murder investigation that has been continuing for more than three weeks. a man's torso was found wrapped in plastic at kersal dale wetlands in salford on the 11th of april. at first, police were unable to identify the victim but, last night, investigators confirmed that two more body parts had been found, including at blackleach reservoir in salford. and, at a press conference, police said they believed they now know the name of the dead man and were supporting his family. from day one, our priority has been to identify the man and his family so that we can give them support and the answers that they need. thanks to meticulous forensic work, we are now confident we have identified the man. formal identification hasn't yet taken place, but we believe he's a man in his sixties and he lived in salford. specially—trained family liaison officers have met with his family

through the rafah crossing. the israel defense forces admitted "grave mistakes" led to the fatal attack that killed charity staff and dismissed two senior officers over the incident. schools are falling into disrepair because of a lack of funds, with classrooms, playgrounds and toilets not being maintained, according to a new report of school leaders. headteachers told of struggling to deliver a 21st—century education in outdated buildings. the wife of a man, who was seriously injured in a shark attack in tobago, says that he is now able to communicate. peter smith, who's 64, suffered damage to his left arm and leg, puncture wounds to the abdomen and injuries to his right hand after the attack on friday morning, but he is now in a stable condition. the grand final of one of the world's biggest gaming contests has been taking place in birmingham. around 15,000 fans watched —

woman, who has been living with migraine for years but has only recently reached out for help at work. maria has a greatjob, which she loves, but her migraines have had a huge impact on her life and her career. she's such a lovely girl, isn't she? it is a tightening in my neck and then a really heavy, severe, throbbing pain all across my forehead. you feel almost like your heads in a clamp and it's being really squeezed. i have them sort of 30% to 50% of the time. what impact has this had on your life? a huge impact. there are so many... there are so many occasions and events, conversations. sorry. that i don't remember. couldn't fully participate in. have just felt like... ..you know i've not really been able to contribute in the way that i would typically. ijust haven't been able

to fulfill my potential in life. i do feel robbed. morning, everyone. i work from home, but i have meetings all of the time. apologies. i've got a bit of a migraine today, so i'm just going to have my ice pack on. i'm very confident to have ice packs on the back of my neck and my head during meetings. people are very understanding. just helps to be able to just continue with meetings rather than change them or reschedule them. brightness and glare can be triggering, but also can make the pain worse when you have a migraine. so it were able to kind of access my machine remotely and look at what those settings were, show me how to change them myself, so that during a migraine attack i might want to change them beyond what the normal settings are, if that would help. they talked about the importance of background lighting. i think it's really important that other employers consider this. if you've got a great employee and you want to keep them employed, you want to help them to do a good job, then it's really important

to build in some flexibility if you can. for maria, her migraine is is really extreme. - i've got massive sympathy for her trying to cope. - hopefully, some food for thought. how important is it, do you think, that other employers do what this place is doing? it's hugely important. it's just normalising that this is a condition many people live with and they need to do certain things to just get through the day. just feeling understood often is what allows me to better cope and manage the condition. a really interesting story lots of you watching this morning will be interested in. we'd like to hear your thoughts on this. if you live with migraine, how do you feel when going to work? is it something your employer supports you with or would you like more help to be put in place? maybe you have some tips for other viewers.

i'm not sure we'll be seeing this sport make it to the olympics. this is a baby—crying sumo contest! what? the annual event in tokyo sees amateur sumo wrestlers hold a baby, and the referee makes faces and noises to make the babies cry. i thought the winner would be the baby that didn't cry or cried the least. the winner is the baby who cries the loudest. iam not i am not sure about this, do we think it is slightly mean? the ritual is believed to aid the healthy growth of the children and ward off evil spirits. i think the evil spirit is the referee making the baby cry. did you see the new series of race across

the world? they came across a baby crying competition. if you are off to work this morning and like me you cannot remember where you put your pass and keys for work and you start worrying, is something going on? in the daily telegraph scientific research has been done saying the getting your keys does not mean you are losing it. can we say that again? forgetting your keys does not mean you are losing it. are we sure? they say the brain gets rid of stuff it does not need. keys are quite important on a daily basis. we deliberately delete boring stuff so we can retain much more interesting stuff. if you are busy or stressed with a lot going on in your head and you cannot find your keys or pass or whatever it is great you leave stuff in various places and wonder where it is, it is fine, we are not losing

it. if you go out to work, do not forget your keys. going to hospital can be a nerve—racking time, especially for children. well, an app has been created by an nhs doctor to try and help children through the process, and it's proving popular, as simon marks has been finding out. confusion, anxiety. a trip to hospital can be a frightening time for a child. in 2018, dr chris evans was working as an anaesthetist and realised there was a problem. about 50% of children develop symptoms of bedwetting, nightmares, separation anxiety after a planned elective procedure, and its ongoing in about 7—8% at one year after the procedure. chris realised things could be improved if children were given information in advance and in a language they understand, games. ali is going to have an mri at hospital today. the app works to support children of different age groups through the process of coming in for a procedure. the scanner won't touch ali's body, so it won't hurt.

we want to give them that personalised approach. before they visit the hospital, children can explore it in virtual reality. i remember this well. alexander was born in portsmouth, three months prematurely, with complications which required multiple surgeries during the first eight years of his life. he was one of the first children to use littlejourney. he would know what was coming. he knew the roles of the staff around. he knew the different areas of the hospital that he'd be going into. that was the room where they would be putting the mask on and he would be going to sleep. you might feel a bit tired _ and groggy when you first wake up. i found it very helpful. ifound it better, ifound out what was going to happen to me. made you a bit less nervous, did it? it definitely did. i know i'm going to wake up. not like sleeping beauty and sleep for a thousand years. even after bedtime, the app was still being used. what we found is that parents were using the app and learning from the children's animations,

so we introduced ways to deliver information to the parents. parents like cat, who lives in sway. her daughter vivi needed an mri scan. you get this letter through saying you have this appointment, but there's not a huge amount of information of what it's going to be like. that's some kind of a tight black and white text and that's it. but having the app and having the colour and having the ability to explore and just gave vivi and me a bit more information about the day. it shows you all sorts of games and you can go on to the website to go and see what their names are and say what kind of character they are. the games have a purpose. swirling colours can offer a distraction during a blood test, and that could be particularly important for children with neurodivergent conditions such as autism or adhd. last year, we worked with neurodiverse children to understand what their needs were. some neurodiverse families were using the application

for months and months after their surgery and using it as a way to understand what actually happened and to reframe the process in their mind. and that caught the attention of the lego foundation. chris was invited to lego headquarters in denmark and offered funding ofjust over £2 million over the next two years. we were very impressed with how they really embedded inclusive learning through play into their design of modules for their app and also how they were so diligent in co—creating with neurodivergent children and really bringing their needs and perspectives and voices into their solution from the outset. we know that when solutions are designed for what we would say the few, they actually become relevant for the many. the partnership with the lego foundation and the money that's linked with itjust means we can accelerate much harder. it's just gone crazy, really. that was simon marks reporting.

that is interesting, isn't it? a couple of weeks ago we heard about people having headsets on during operations to try to distract them and calm them down. amazing how technology is helping in more areas. still to come on breakfast... # that's what people say.# the teacher that's become a social media sensation — kit brown has amassed over 1.9 million tiktok followers after uploading videos of him using taylor swift songs to help his class learn their times tables. we'll chat to him just before 8 to hear how he shakes off all that attention. he has become hugely popular, hasn't he? notjust in his own school, everywhere. i hope he does not test us. we willjust cut him off! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london,

i'm alice salfield. it's the final few days of campaigning for the london mayoral elections, which take place this thursday. and for thousands of 18—year—olds across the capital it's an opportunity to vote for the first time. we've been speaking to teenagers in wembley about whether they'll be heading to the polling station and what issues they're most concerned about. cost of living affects us a lotjust because we don't have that much of a stable income and it's everywhere, you see in transport, you see in normal, even health care. the biggest issue right now is the soaring house prices taking knife crime more seriously. remember you can head over to the bbc london website to find out lots more about the election as well as watch a special bbc london audience debate with mayoral candidates. border force officers at heathrow airport have started a four—day strike this morning over plans to bring in new rotas.

the public and commercial services union says more than 300 members are walking out as they say it could mean job losses at passport control. the home office says the changes will give staff more certainty and improve the service. the number of people applying to run london's marathon next year has broken the world record with more than 840,000 wanting to take part. 0rganisers of the event say the figure is "absolutely phenomenal" and smashes last year's number of 578,000. more than 53,000 people finished the course just over a week ago, raising £67 million for charities, so far. let's take a look at the tubes now. and a good start to the day with all lines appearing to be running well at the moment. let's take a look at the weather now with kate. good morning. well, after a rather chilly and somewhat damp end to the weekend, we are in for something

a little warmer this week. it's a bright start this morning. we start the day with temperatures in single figures. we will see fairweather cloud bubbling up, the outside chance of a shower but it should be largely dry with some decent spells of sunshine. it's breezy but temperatures today reaching a maximum of 18 celsius so feeling warm sunshine. 0vernight tonight it is dry and it's clear. the minimum temperature staying above zero, between five and seven celsius. the wind a little lighter. now, tomorrow, we will see the wind strengthen again. we have got low pressure to the west and coming in from the near continent, a warm front so we might get a bright start with a bit of sunshine. we will see the cloud just edging in and with that we might see some spells of rain. still some brighter spells, though, especially further west. temperatures are still holding up at around 17 celsius. as we head further through this week, it is going to be quite unsettled. we will see some spells of rain at times but the temperature is much improved compared to last week, staying in the mid to high teens celsius. that's it but head over to our website for more of the day's

news and while you're there make sure you watch the raf plane full of giraffes — the cuddly toy type that is — all part of a fundraiser for london's great 0rmond street hospital. now it's back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. mps will debate assisted dying for the first time in almost two years today, after a petition backed by dame esther rantzen secured more than 200,000 signatures. this is a polarising issue with strong feelings on both sides of the argument. this morning we've brought together two people on opposing sides of the debate. sophie blake has terminal breast cancer and wants the right to die on her own terms. she's been speaking to the former paralympian baroness tanni grey—thompson, who's concerned that disabled people will be left vulnerable by any change in the law. i was diagnosed with primary breast cancer back in december 2020

and then given the all clear. a year later unfortunately, i was told that it had come back and had spread and that i was now terminal secondary breast cancer. i was given three years to live. when the time comes, because i know it can be brutal, i'm very aware of the fact that i would like to die peacefully and not suffer, which is why i've become involved with the campaign, with dignity in dying, and for the assisted dying bill. and it's something i do feel very passionately about. and i think that's something that we can all agree on, is that nobody wants anyone to die in pain or suffer. a challenge that we have in parliament is how you can get legislation through that protects people. there's a huge number of people who aren't vocal, who don't feel they have choice and are really worried, certainly around disabled people are worried that if the law does change, then they will be encouraged to end their lives,

whether they've got a terminal diagnosis or not. palliative care in this country is a complete postcode lottery. and, you know, that provision of 24 hour palliative care by specialist doctorsjust isn't good enough at the moment. and that needs to change. i agree very much on that. for me, i support this bill in particular and this one because it is for terminally ill patients only. the person can die at home. and that's how i would like to be, you know, at home with my loved ones. i know people on the other side will say, you know, it's a very tight piece of legislation. you know, there's no attempt to expand it. in everyjurisdiction, rules have become relaxed, it has expanded. canada has expanded, california has voted to expand it. so once it opens the door, it's really difficult to dial back. but i think with the house select committee's report

that theyjust had, the inquiry, and the mps spent 14 months looking into that and they investigated all the different ways it's being done around the world, when they looked into 0regon and places, they kind of discredited a lot of those arguments because it showed that it didn't go down a slippery slope. i do have this huge concern that it would be open to abuse, and especially for disabled people, a lot of disabled people are really worried that they'll be pushed towards thinking that this is the only way out and that they're a burden on society so they don't have any choice. for someone like myself, and i know many of my friends who have stage four, obviously i can't talk for everybody, but i know that many of my friends who have it, it gives us that chance to live with this horrendous diagnosis and this disease, knowing that when the time comes, we can have a peaceful death. do you think we should talk about death more? because we don't, unless it's right in front of you. 0h,100%,100%.

death is a taboo, isn't it? but it's the one thing we're all guaranteed to do. so all guaranteed to do. people like chatting with baroness so people like chatting with baroness tanni grey—thompson. —— sophie bray chapel there. there will be full coverage across that story today. at be full coverage across that story toda . �* ., , ., ., _ today. a tremendous london derby last niaht, today. a tremendous london derby last night. john- — today. a tremendous london derby last night, john. it _ today. a tremendous london derby last night, john. it is _ today. a tremendous london derby last night, john. it is hard - today. a tremendous london derby last night, john. it is hard to - today. a tremendous london derby last night, john. it is hard to say i last night, john. it is hard to say which way _ last night, john. it is hard to say which way it _ last night, john. it is hard to say which way it is _ last night, john. it is hard to say which way it is going _ last night, john. it is hard to say which way it is going to - last night, john. it is hard to say which way it is going to this - which way it is going to this season. arsenal looked like they were going to throw it away at one point at tottenham, on twitter, they needed one more goal to level things up needed one more goal to level things up right .we are . we are waiting to see whether those gold are goals are coming to

and far between. arsenal out in front and their fans relieved they didn't let a three goal lead slip on derby day. but manchester city are going nowhere, also winning. and with that game in hand, the title remains in their hands as katie gornall reports. arsenal's players knew all too well the stakes were high and the margins were tight. with a first title in 20 years on the line, there was no room for error. instead, it was spurs that slipped up. an own goalfrom pierre emile hojbjerg. arsenal were up and running and as ever bukayo saka was at the heart of everything. tottenham are two down, bukayo saka! the second, his 15th league goal of the season. spurs have top four ambitions of their own, but that looked a distant dream when kai havertz was left unmarked to put arsenal 3—0 up at half time.

there seemed no way back for spurs. but then david raya did this and cristian romero changed the mood. he's presented tottenham with a goal. arsenal were rattled and for a moment reckless. this meant penalty and son kept his cool to spark chaos in the stands. it was an anxious finale, but arsenal survived. their title challenge remains on track, but manchester city are still breathing down their necks as josko gvardiol set them on their way at the city ground. nottingham forest are fighting for their lives. a bit more composure and this game could have been different. chris wood won't enjoy watching this. city were not at their best, but when it mattered, their quality shone through. with this, erling haaland retook the lead in the race for the golden boot. what a finish from erling haaland. as for the title race, with a game in hand, it's still theirs to lose. katie gornall, bbc news.

bournemouth are arsenal's next opponents. they're now tenth after beating brighton 3—0, that's their best ever premier league season. justin kluivert put bournemouth three up in the second half. a convincing win for them, which leaves brighton looking for a first win since mid march. and the premier league are meeting today to discuss the possible introduction of a salary cap to try and make the competition more even. it's part of plans to reform the profit and sustainability regulations that saw nottingham forest and everton deducted points this season. top clubs would only be allowed to spend a sum linked to the tv revenues of the bottom clubs in the league. there is though expected to be some opposition to the proposal. there remains a thrilling title race in scotland too. rangers are hoping they're close to producing something special, after avoiding another potential blow to their scottish premiership title hopes. and one man is playing a big part in that.

cyrial dessrs scored both goals in last weekend's scottish cup semifinal win over hearts, and he proved the match—winner again. rangers are going for a domestic treble. victory yesterday drew them level with celtic at the top of the table briefly. before celtic moved three points clear beating dundee 2—1. james forrest with both goals. the title remains celtic�*s to lose with four matches to play. it could all come down to the old firm derby between the pair in two weeks' time. we're also set for a thrilling conclusion in the women's super league where manchester city remain out in front. they beat bristol city 4—0, that confirms their relegation, mary fowler with two of their goals. so they're six points clear of chelsea at the top, but chelsea have two games in hand. exeter chiefs remain in contention for a play off place after beating gloucester 38—17

in rugby�*s premiership. jacques vermeulen scored twice and this try from england wing immanuel feyi—waboso secured the crucial bonus point. exeter stay seventh but closed the gap to fourth—placed bristol to four points with two games left to play. elsewhere sale remained above exeter with a win at newcastle. teenager riley lumb scored two tries on his debut as leeds rhinos edged to a super league victory at hull fc. the 19—year—old opened his account with this sublime solo effort as they ran out winners by 18 points to 12. leeds remain in eighth but for hull it's their eighth defeat in nine and leaves them second bottom. and he's eyeing that record breaking eighth title. ronnie 0'sullivan needs just three more frames to book his place in the quarterfinals of the world snooker championship. he leads ryan day of wales ten frames to six in their second round match with 13 the target

for a place in the last eight at the crucible. he's level with stephen hendry on seven at the moment. the pair will play to a finish later today. and stephen maguire is through to the quarterfinals after 13—9 victory over 2005 winner shaun murphy. the scot will face david gilbert in the last eight. a bit ofa a bit of a shaky day yesterday, ronnie, but he is looking good at the moment. ronnie, but he is looking good at the moment-— ronnie, but he is looking good at the moment. . , , ., ~ , ., the moment. certainly is. thank you ve much the moment. certainly is. thank you very much indeed. _ labour says it will reform mental health services if it wins the next election, with plans to train up more mental health staff and put support in every school. labour's deputy national campaign coordinator ellie reeves joins us now. morning team. let's start there, shall we? if labourforms morning team. let's start there, shall we? if labour forms the next government you are planning to prioritise mental health support,

how are you planning to do that? there are a number of things that we would do. this is such an important issue that has been overlooked for far too long. we would put in place 8500 new mental health specialists to support people with mental health issues. we would also put mental health support workers into every school in britain so children can access mental health support that they need. we would also have mental health support helps in every community giving people open access to the support that they need. 50 to the support that they need. so thatis to the support that they need. so that is 8500 specially trained staff, and special mental health support in schools, how long would that take to put in place? it is support in schools, how long would that take to put in place?— that take to put in place? it is not auoin to that take to put in place? it is not going to happen _ that take to put in place? it is not going to happen overnight - that take to put in place? it is not going to happen overnight but. that take to put in place? it is not| going to happen overnight but this has been neglected by the last 14 years of conservative government and it is something we will do as quickly as we possibly can. it is so crucially important. we have got to make sure that we work towards a

preventative model, so that children are getting mental health support in schools. if you do deal with mental health problems at an early stage, you are far more likely to get better outcomes, it is a postcode lottery at the moment to what children can access. as a constituency mp i have families in desperation and tempting me because their children are languishing on waiting lists to get —— contacted me because their children are languishing on waiting lists get support sometimes a year. people look for clarity. — support sometimes a year. people look for clarity, times _ support sometimes a year. people look for clarity, times and - support sometimes a year. people look for clarity, times and dates i look for clarity, times and dates and costs, you say it will not happen overnight, could you be more specific about how you are going to pay for it? we specific about how you are going to -a for it? ~ ., , specific about how you are going to -a forit? . _.,, pay for it? we have fully costed everything _ pay for it? we have fully costed everything that _ pay for it? we have fully costed everything that we _ pay for it? we have fully costed everything that we say - pay for it? we have fully costed everything that we say we - pay for it? we have fully costed everything that we say we are l pay for it? we have fully costed - everything that we say we are going to do. we need to have confidence in our plans. this will be paid for by ending tax loopholes for private equity losses, but also ending tax

loopholes for private schools and putting those monies back into specialist support workers with every school in the country and everything is fully costed. this is something we will do quick and so the support is put in place. this is a priority for a labour government. we have got to move for a model where we prevent rather than acting when someone has a crisis. the government _ when someone has a crisis. the government have _ when someone has a crisis. the government have said they will end a one size fits all approach to disability payments, what would you do to make sure that you get the payments to people who need it most? the government have announced a consultation and we need to see the detail of that. we it is important that people get the help that they need. if people go to the job centre at the moment, job centre does not work with other agencies in all

joined up like the nhs so the barrier to work is someone awaiting hospital treatment, and waiting lists are high, there is notjoined up lists are high, there is notjoined up work and collaboration to move things forward. we would recall how job centres work to make sure that they are breaking —— reform howjob centres work so they break down barriers to employment. the government _ barriers to employment. the government says _ barriers to employment. the government says that more people are claiming benefits because of mixed anxiety and depressive disorders, how would you change things? we have talked about what _ how would you change things? we have talked about what we _ how would you change things? we have talked about what we would _ how would you change things? we have talked about what we would do - how would you change things? we have talked about what we would do in - talked about what we would do in relation to mental health and that is crucial in terms of getting people into work, making sure that we have a preventative approach to tackling mental health issues so people do not end up out of work due to mental health. what people do not end up out of work due to mental health.— to mental health. what about adults, we are talking _ to mental health. what about adults, we are talking about _ to mental health. what about adults, we are talking about adults _ to mental health. what about adults, we are talking about adults in - to mental health. what about adults, we are talking about adults in the - we are talking about adults in the

work. that would get more people into work. we know the benefits bill is staggeringly high and it needs to come down but there needs to be a proper approach. when waiting lists are a record high, it is difficult in terms of treating the conditions that are causing people to be out of work and that is why we have slid under labour, there would be 2 million extra appointments each year to tackle those waiting lists and get people into work.— to tackle those waiting lists and get people into work. here's carol with the weather. it is beginning to feel a bit more spring and summer in all kinds of ways. certainly in terms of the temperature, jon, yes, good morning, everybody. the temperature will climb, but we are not going dry weather. we are moderate and high

levels of oak tree pollen, with a bit of plane tree as well. if you have an allergy bear that in mind. it is a beautiful day here, ten are warmer this week but not necessarily dry. —— it is turning warmer. we are dragging in this milder airfrom the near continent. but when it they will be some localised mist and mac. we have heavy role, ahead of it, a few showers,. lorraine is moving away from northern ireland and pushing north and east, —— the rain. some of the

showers could be thundery, the south—east of the driest and sunniest conditions. a blustery day with stronger winds with exposure in the west. temperatures today, nine in the north to 18 in the south. it will feel a bit warmer today. this evening and overnight in the weather front continues to push north and east, and it will be replaced by another area of low pressure coming in from the south—west bringing rain into south—west england, wales and northern ireland, accompanied by strengthening winds. there will be clear skies around but it will not be as cold as last. temperatures falling away between seven and 11 degrees. tomorrow, a weatherfront in the west produces some rain and another one comes through the south—east which is weaker, but it will drag some cloud and showers through the day after a bright start in the south east. the rain towards

the west, gusty winds, pushing north through the day, central and eastern areas will get the lion's share of the sunshine. we are looking at temperatures up to 18 degrees in the sunshine. maybe 19 in east anglia. into wednesday, this could change, we are going to start with a low cloud, mist and fog along eastern areas stop some rain dripping wet could be heavy, could miss the south—west ridge drifting west, could be heavy. come on the north to 18 at norwich, potentially 20. it is not bone dry but it is warmer. we will not know what to do with ourselves, 21. we we will not know what to do with ourselves. 2h— ourselves, 21. we will start complaining _ ourselves, 21. we will start complaining that _ ourselves, 21. we will start complaining that it - ourselves, 21. we will start complaining that it is - ourselves, 21. we will start complaining that it is too . ourselves, 21. we will start - complaining that it is too warm!

doing it for 30 years, but new charges for checks at the uk border due to brexit are pushing up those costs from today. as a business, we will have to maintain our margins. so we'll probably have to put our prices up. the new import charges will affect all fresh produce coming from the eu to the uk. that's meat, fish and dairy products. each type of product in a single shipment will face a charge of up to £29. if a business is importing multiple types of products, say, cheese and meat, it'll pay for each category, up to a maximum of £145 per consignment. extra costs that could well be passed on to us as customers. the charges also apply to plants, seeds and flowers imported from the eu. that'll affect businesses like this garden centre in surrey. so what worries them most? financially, and waiting times. waiting times are the biggest. our business model is based on speed and efficiency, and if that's taken away, that's only going to be more detrimental to the company.

and there are similar concerns at this cafe and deli in tunbridge wells, which imports food and wine from italy. i will have to pay high prices to bring my goods in and those prices will be passed to the consumer. the products we sell, i can't go and buy anywhere else. the government says the charges will help to pay for world class border facilities, adding that the checks are needed to ensure the quality and safety of imports to protect food supply, farmers and the environment. ben boulos, bbc news. let's talk to john who let's talk tojohn who will be overseeing the spreadsheet as this kicks into night from midnight. how are you feeling about it? we know as ben was explaining, it is up to £125 per import. ben was explaining, it is up to £125 per import-— per import. yes, there are five varieties and _ per import. yes, there are five varieties and £29 _ per import. yes, there are five varieties and £29 per - per import. yes, there are five varieties and £29 per variety, l per import. yes, there are five i varieties and £29 per variety, so each one will be £145 per shipment. we cannot get around it but with the

remember you can head over to the bbc london website to find out lots more about the election, as well as watch a special bbc london audience debate with mayoral candidates. border force officers at heathrow airport have started a four—day strike this morning over plans to bring in new rotas. the public and commercial services union says more than 300 members are walking out — as they say it could mean job losses at passport control. the home office says the changes will give staff more certainty and improve the service. the number of people applying to run london's marathon next year has broken the world record — with more than 840,000 wanting to take part. 0rganisers say the figure is "absolutely phenomenal" — and smashes last year's number of 578,000. just over a week ago, more than 53,000 people finished the course, raising £67 milion for charities so far. let's take a look at the tubes now.

a bit ofa a bit of a problem on the northern line. minor delays at the moment. let's take a look at the weather now with kate. good morning. well, after a rather chilly and somewhat damp end to the weekend, we are in for something a little warmer this week. it's a bright start this morning. we start the day with temperatures in single figures. we will see fairweather cloud bubbling up, the outside chance of a shower but it should be largely dry with some decent spells of sunshine. it's breezy but temperatures today reaching a maximum of 18 celsius so feeling warm in the sunshine. 0vernight tonight it is dry and it's clear. the minimum temperature staying above zero, between five and seven celsius. the wind a little lighter. now, tomorrow, we will see the wind strengthen again. we have got low pressure to the west and coming in from the near continent, a warm front so we might get a bright start with a bit of sunshine. we will see the cloud just edging in and with that we might see some spells of rain. still some brighter spells, though, especially further west. temperatures are still holding up at around 17 celsius. as we head further through this

week, it is going to be quite unsettled. we will see some spells of rain at times but the temperature is much improved compared to last week, staying in the mid to high teens celsius. that's it but head to our website for more of the day's news and to watch the raf plane full of giraffes — the cuddly toy type that is — all part of a fundraiser for london's great 0rmond street hospital. see you in half an hour. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today... a row is brewing between the uk and ireland over the rwanda deportation scheme. the irish government says it's bringing in emegency laws to stop migrants arriving there from northern ireland. 0n the brink. the bbc understands that humza yousaf is considering resigning as first minister of scotland.

the northern ireland secretary will meet ireland's foreign minister today as a row deepens over the number of asylum seekers arriving in the republic from the uk. the irish government says it's seeing an influx of migrants coming from northern ireland because they are "fearful" of being sent to rwanda. it's planning to change the law so they can be returned to the uk, but the uk government says it won't accept this. 0ur political correspondent helen catt reports. the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland is designed to be easy to cross. but the irish government says its recently seen an influx of asylum seekers coming over it because they're fearful they'll be sent to rwanda if they stay in the uk. and ireland can't return them. the irish high court ruled last month that would be unlawful because of the existence of the rwanda scheme. the irish government is now planning to pass new laws to enable it to do so. the uk government, in choosing brexit, chose to go it alone on migration. what they've actually seen since then is an increase in people seeking asylum in their country — their policies are their policies. what my objective is as minister forjustice is to ensure that we have a structure

and a migration system that works. but a uk government source said that until the eu accepts the return to france of people who've crossed the channel, it won't be taking any returns from ireland. a planned meeting between the home secretary and ms mcentee has been postponed. the prime minister told sky news the situation showed the scheme was already working. the deterrent is, according to your comment, already having an impact because people are worried about coming here and that demonstrates exactly what i'm saying. if people come to our country illegally but know that they won't be able to stay, they're much less likely to come. small boat crossings have been made in record numbers this year. the latest figures show 7,000 migrants arrived this way before the end of april. labour says it shows the plan isn't working. the home office said it was in the final stages of making the rwanda scheme operational. several papers are reporting that migrants will start being detained this week before the first flight is due to leave in ten to 12 weeks' time. helen catt, bbc news.

potential detentions this week. let's go to westminster and speak to henry about this. clear the prime minister wants a scheme up and running as soon as it can be. for all we have _ running as soon as it can be. fr?" all we have talked about the parliamentary shenanigans relating to this legislation, it is now a little and about whether it gets the scheme up and running. there are reports in various places that potentially as soon as today the government will begin detaining people it hopes to put on the first flights to rwanda, which it hopes will be up and running injuly. they will be up and running injuly. they will detain people as they are rightful scheduled meetings at immigration offices or bail appointments. the flights will not take off tilljuly, ten to 12 weeks. perhaps it is happening a little

sooner than some expected. the home office said the government was office said the government was entering the final phase of operationalising this landmark policy, saying that at some stage inevitably it will include detaining people in preparation for the first flight. there is a question over what happens with legal challenges. you would expect some detain to challenge the government's plans to deport none to rwanda. the bill was aimed at making it harderfor legal challenges to succeed. more than 7000 people arrived in small boats so far this year, the highest since records began in 2018. thank you very much indeed. we are also keeping a close eye this morning on the politics in scotland. a lot could change in the hours ahead. it could, jon.

the bbc understands that humza yousaf is considering resigning as first minister of scotland — rather than face a no confidence vote, that he might lose. 0ur scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie joins us now. alexandra, it looks like time is running out for the first minister? good morning. things have certainly been living very quickly. i am at pete house, the official residence of the first minister in scotland. it has been a very difficult few days for humza yousaf. the stakes could not be higher. he has been first ministerforjust could not be higher. he has been first minister forjust over a year and we understand he is considering his position. we understand resignation is an option but a final decision has not been taken. this has unravelled quickly since thursday when humza yousaf abruptly ended the snp's power—sharing deal with the scottish green party. there has been increasing tension between

the two parties, especially after a decision made by the snp to drop key climate change targets. the decision to do that has left humza yousaf very vulnerable, left him with a minority government and with no opposition allies to call on, especially when he is facing two no—confidence vote in scottish parliament this week. to survive the no—confidence vote on his leadership brought by the scottish conservatives, he needs the support of at least one member of the opposition at holyrood. we understand he has ruled out any deal with the alba party and the green party is obviously still furious with him for ending the power—sharing agreement. with him for ending the power-sharing agreement. with him for ending the ower-sharina aareement. ., ~ power-sharing agreement. frankie. -- thank ou. the government is proposing changes to the disability benefits system, arguing the current "one size fits

all" approach needs to be overhauled to ensure help is targeted at the people who need it most. more than 3.3 million people currently receive personal independence payments — known as pip — to help with the extra cost of living with a health condition or disability. the changes could include stopping cash payments and offering claimants one—off grants instead. disability charity scope has described the plans as a "reckless assault on disabled people." mps will debate assisted dying for the first time in almost two years today, after a petition — backed by dame esther rantzen — secured more than 200,000 signatures. assisted suicide is currently illegal in england, wales and northern ireland. in scotland, whilst it is not a specific criminal offence those who help others to end their lives risk being charged with murder or other offences. 0ur correspondent graham satchell reports. esther rantzen's daughter rebecca wilcox in downing street, delivering a petition with 200,000 signatures demanding a change in the law to allow assisted dying. dame esther has terminal lung cancer and wants the choice to have what she calls a dignified death.

people are worried that if the law does change, then they will be encouraged to end their lives, whether they've got a terminal diagnosis or not. today's debate in westminster hall comes as otherjurisdictions in the british isles are actively considering a change in the law. scotland, the isle of man and jersey are all currently debating whether to legalise assisted dying. graham satchell, bbc news. more body parts have been found by police investigating the death of a man after a torso was found at a nature reserve in greater manchester. police say they believe the victim was a man in his 60s from salford and his family have been informed. 0livia richwald reports. more grim discoveries in a murder investigation that has been continuing for more than three weeks. a man's torso was found wrapped in plastic at kersal dale wetlands in salford on the 4th of april. at first, police were unable to identify the victim but, last night, investigators confirmed that two more body parts

had been found, including at blackleach reservoir in salford. and, at a press conference, police said they believed they now know the name of the dead man and were supporting his family. from day one, our priority has been to identify the man and his family so that we can give them support and the answers that they need. thanks to meticulous forensic work, we are now confident we have identified the man. formal identification hasn't yet taken place, but we believe he's a man in his sixties and he lived in salford. specially—trained family liaison officers have met with his family this afternoon to give them the devastating news. and we will do all that we can to support them at this awful time. forensic investigations are continuing as detectives piece together what led up to the man's death. they continue to appeal for information from the public and have said they believe the victim died at a house in winton, salford, in late march. four sites across greater manchester have been under investigation, including three places in salford and one in bury.

forecast coming up.— an inquest has concluded that the deaths of three people in a park in reading four years ago were avoidable. david wails, joe ritchie—bennett and james furlong were murdered while walking through forbury gardens injune 2020. their killer — khairi saadallah — was known to authorities and was visited by police just hours before the attack. 0ne one of their families willjoin us on the sofa shortly. 0ur reporter abi smitton has more. james furlong, joseph ritchie bennett, david walls. three friends, they'd met in a park in reading as the first lockdown restrictions were eased in june 2020. hours later, they were dead, murdered by khairi saadallah. a load of people have been stabbed in forbury gardens. how many people? i don't know, dozens. we need ambulances at forbury gardens now, as many as you can get. on friday, a judge coroner concluded their deaths were avoidable. their families sat for hours

as he listed failings from multiple authorities. when i told my mother that david was dead, she screamed, "no, not my david, not my david." next time it could be your david, yourjames, yourjoe, if your state does not accept the judge's coroner's findings and implement change. if nothing is done, my fear is that there will be other families standing where we are now raising the same concerns while grieving for the avoidable loss of their loved ones. saadallah had a history of mental illness and violence and had served multiple prison sentences since arriving in the uk from libya. the night before the attack, police visited saadallah after a call from his brother who was worried about his behaviour but nothing was done. sir adrian fulford said there were major problems with how authorities shared information about him. the key thing is, how do we stop people having to live our nightmare for the last three and a half, three and three quarter years? saadallah was jailed for life in 2021. he will never be released. thames valley police

we have got low pressure to the west and coming in from the near continent, a warm front so we might get a bright start with a bit of sunshine. we will see the cloud just edging in and with that we might see some spells of rain. still some brighter spells, though, especially further west. temperatures are still holding up at around 17 celsius. as we head further through this week, it is going to be quite unsettled. we will see some spells of rain at times but the temperature is much improved compared to last week, staying in the mid to high teens celsius. that's it but head to our website for more of the day's news and to watch the raf plane full of giraffes — the cuddly toy type that is — part of a fundraiser for great 0rmond street hospital. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. is it going to be arsenal or

comes inside with kova, we controlled the game more. we are a team that survives with the ball. it is a lot of games and we knew today would be difficult for many reasons, and, yeah, we can move forward. this was after arsenal had earlier survived a late scare against tottenham. they couldn't have been in a better position, they were 3—0 up at half time and coasting towards a comfortbale victory. but there were some twists to come, notably david raya the arsenal goalkeeper who gifted the ball to cristian romero who scored. and when son grabbed a late penalty, there was a nervy finish as tottenham pushed for an equaliser. arsenal held on, and hold on to their one point lead at the top. we know how much it means to north london, this match. we were really efficient

in the first—half, we were really good start of the second half, the chances and the control that we had. but we gave it away with a huge mistake. and then of course made another one for the penalty. and to do what we have done two years in a row here, is even more difficult. and it's great at the end you manage to win it, it's great, it was tense at the end there. bournemouth are arsenal's next opponents, they'vejust achieved their best points total in premier league history after beating brighton. justin kluivert put bournemouth three up in the second half, in what was a convincing win for them, which leaves brighton looking for a first win since mid march. a meeting will be held today to discuss the introduction of a possible salary cap in the premier league. the idea being to make the competition more even. it's part of plans to reform the profit and sustainability regulations that saw nottingham forest and everton deducted points this season. top clubs would only be allowed to spend a sum linked to the tv

revenues of the bottom clubs in the league. there is though expected to be some opposition to the proposal. it remains one of the most thrilling title races in years in scotland. three points the gap between leaders celtic and rangers with a potential title deciding derby day to come. celtic moved three points clear after beating dundee 2—1. if james forrest with both goals. and whilst matters remain in celtic�*s hands with four matches to play, it could all be settled in the old firm derby between the two sides in two weeks' time. rangers kept the pressure on as they beat st mirren and are chasing a domestic treble. they've still got the scottish cup to come against celtic, with four games of the league season remaining, one of those of course is celtic again. can anyone stop manchester city from clinching the women's super league title? they're six points clear after beating bristol city 4—0, that confirms their relegation, mary fowler with two of their goals.

so they're six points clear of chelsea at the top, but chelsea have two games in hand. and he's eyeing that record breaking eighth title. ronnie 0'sullivan needs just three more frames to book his place in the quarterfinals of the world snooker championship. he leads ryan day of wales ten frames to six in their second round match with 13 the target for a place in the last eight at the crucible. he's level with stephen hendry on seven at the moment. the pair will play to a finish later today. and stephen maguire is through to the quarterfinals after 13—9 victory over 2005 winner shaun murphy. the scot will face david gilbert in the last eight. and what about this for a debut in superleague? teenager riley lumb scored two tries for leeds rhinos as they edged to victory at hull fc. his first came after just 11 minutes. the 19—year—old opening his account with this sublime solo effort as they ran out winners by 18 points to 12.

in from the near continent dragging in warmerair. in from the near continent dragging in warmer air. today we have the remnants of the yesterday's low pressure producing some rain in the north of scotland, and a new one bringing rain into northern ireland. in between them there is some showers and drizzle but the rain in northern ireland is heavy and you will find during the day it is going to be pushing north and east. we have got some sunshine and a cold frosty start in the highlands, that will be eradicated as the cloud and rain pushes in a. it will be a blustery day and towards the west we are looking at blustery winds. the driest conditions will be in the south—east, some sunshine with highs of 18 degrees, 11 in scotland. 0vernight the rain will push north and east, still quite blustery, and then the next area of low pressure comes in from the south—west introducing more rain and strengthening winds. despite the fact that we have clearer skies around, it will not be as cold at

night as it was last night. seven to ten. into tomorrow, weatherfronts in the west producing rain, this weather front is coming into the south—east introducing thicker cloud and some showers through the day. that will be after a dry, bright and sunny start. some sunshine across central and eastern areas, the rain continuing to push north in western parts of the uk. a noticeable breeze and temperature —wise we are looking at highs up to 18 in norwich. possibly a bit higher, may be 19, and 13 in stornoway. beyond that there is some uncertainty, but we start with low cloud, mist and murk in eastern parts. then a weather front drifting west taking rain which might have heavy and

persistent. temperatures continue to decline, could get up to 20 degrees in east anglia. 0n decline, could get up to 20 degrees in east anglia. on thursday in western scotland to the temperature could get up to 22. we haven't seen that for quite a while. brilliant, thank you. a little bit of orange _ brilliant, thank you. a little bit of orange over _ brilliant, thank you. a little bit of orange over norwich, i brilliant, thank you. a little bit of orange over norwich, good l brilliant, thank you. a little bit l of orange over norwich, good to brilliant, thank you. a little bit i of orange over norwich, good to see, enjoy it, norwich! the government wants to make significant changes to the main disability benefit, personal independence payments, or pip. it's suggested that some people suffering from less serious mental health conditions could no longer be eligible for the benefit. the charity scope said it was a "reckless assault on disabled people. " 0ur disability news correspondent nikki fox has this report. the main thing i use my pip for is my wheelchair accessible vehicle to get me to university. pip helps me pay for our easy cook and ready meals.

it enabled me to get my powered wheelchair because i didn't - qualify for motability. i use it every day. it's given me so much more freedom. life for disabled people is expensive, with many using personal independence payments or pip to help cover the extra costs that come with having a disability. pip can be life—changing and it shouldn't be so difficult for disabled people to access it because it really, really helps a lot of us. 2.6 million working age disabled people, or those with a long term health condition, receive it. but now the government wants to bring that number down. paul has been receiving pip since 2016 when he was diagnosed by his gp with anxiety and depression. i had a lot of negative thoughts. i used to call myself zero because i had zero money coming in. i had nojob. more than 5,000 people a month received pip for conditions like paul's. the government says as a result, the benefits bill is rising at an unsustainable rate.

it really makes a big difference, both for me and my wife. i've done counselling. i mean, the problem is that i've sort of exhausted what the nhs can offer. so we are sort of reliant on trying to find ways of managing my mental health. it does just help a little bit. it doesn't solve the problems. it's not a miracle cure. it doesn't mean that we can go off on holidays and live this frivolous lifestyle. slide it into the gap. the government says it wants to overhaul the system to help some people through targeted individual support rather than through monthly cash payments. but plans to change the way pip is delivered has angered charities. perfect. good. there's definitely a conversation to be had about how we can improve pip for people who need to use it. what we shouldn't be having a conversation about is taking money away from people, who face very real extra costs as a result of their disability. sadly, the proposals from government

are all about cutting your benefits, are all about increasing sanctions and conditionality, much more about the stick rather than any sort of carrot of providing people with genuine support that's built on trust that does work. for disabled people, any talk of changing such an essential benefit aimed at financially levelling the playing field is a worry when life just costs more. nikki fox, bbc news. we can talk now to the work and pensions secretary, mel stride. good morning, mr stride. good morning, mrstride. there good morning, mr stride. there will be people like paul who we just saw in that report with conditions like depression and anxiety who will be worried this morning that the changes you talk about will impact on the benefits that they receive. how concerned should people like paul be? ~ , , ., how concerned should people like paul be? ~ , ., paul be? well, this is a real opportunity _ paul be? well, this is a real opportunity now— paul be? well, this is a real

opportunity now to - paul be? well, this is a real opportunity now to review l paul be? well, this is a real. opportunity now to review the paul be? well, this is a real- opportunity now to review the way that pip works. i should be really clear about one thing, there are references in your package to the proposals we are coming forward with, we are consulting on what the policy changes might be. what we know with pip is it is a very blunt benefit. you get a fixed amount of money per month, irrespective in many ways of your condition. in some cases that might be a condition that means you need to grab rail to get into the bath or other appliances, which are relatively inexpensive, you might even be able to get them from your local authority or nhs but yet the pip benefit is thousands of pounds per month. conversely there are people who i am particularly worried about who have life long progressive illnesses that sadly are not going to get any better, and they are being reassessed for pip periodically, and that meansjumping through all sorts of bureaucratic hoops which can be quite stressful and i want to ask questions around

that as to whether that is the best way to proceed or whether we could scrap assessment altogether for those people. when we come to mental health, there is an issue about whether it is better to give cash payments or provide appropriate support to those people. i think i heard paul say that he had been out of work, work is one of the major ways in which mental health conditions can improve. that routine that one has, interaction with colleagues, conversations at the water cooler, all of those things and the sense of purpose that work brings are important. i want to have a grown—up adult conversation about this but i am not prejudging the outcome at this stage the point i'm guessing that overall the plan is to reduce the budget. and therefore get it more difficult for people to claim pip?— it more difficult for people to claim pip? ~ ., , ., ., ., claim pip? we need to be aware of the budget- _ claim pip? we need to be aware of the budget- we — claim pip? we need to be aware of the budget. we spend _ claim pip? we need to be aware of the budget. we spend £20 - claim pip? we need to be aware of the budget. we spend £20 billion i claim pip? we need to be aware of. the budget. we spend £20 billion per year on _ the budget. we spend £20 billion per year on pip. the office for budget responsibility is forecasting that

validity of the welfare system. people want to have a system which is there is a safety net which looks after the most vulnerable, and that is what i passionately want to do. that is why we are undertaking this review so we have a sustainable, well targeted welfare system that the public can be confident in. same the public can be confident in. some --eole the public can be confident in. some people working _ the public can be confident in. some people working in — the public can be confident in. some people working in mental _ the public can be confident in. some people working in mental health are worried about the language and what this will say to people with certain conditions. doctor sarah hughes from the mental health charity mindy says there is a trend in recent rhetoric which conjures up the image of a mental health culture which has gone too far. do you think personally that mental health culture has gone too far? i that mental health culture has gone too far? ., ., , ., too far? i would not use that phraseology _ too far? i would not use that phraseology and _ too far? i would not use that phraseology and i _ too far? i would not use that phraseology and i haven't. i too far? i would not use that l phraseology and i haven't. but too far? i would not use that i phraseology and i haven't. but i do feel that there are questions under debate to be had around the extent to which what would have previously been seen as a general ups and downs of life and the challenges that we have as part of the human condition

are being labelled in some cases medicalised as a consequence. i think we need to have a grown—up and sensible debate about that. that can only be good for society, good for the economy. but also, i care particularly about the individuals concerned and what i want to do is make sure that we have the best possible kind of support given the conditions that people have. if they are low level mental challenges, that many of us have in life, work i think is absolutely core to helping people in those situations which is why for example as part of my sick and welfare reforms around that i have set up system which will bring around medical support and work coaches to make help people into work or support them in work. can we talk a bit about _

work or support them in work. can we talk a bit about the _ work or support them in work. can we talk a bit about the carer's _ talk a bit about the carer's allowance? we have talked about it in the last couple of weeks on the programme a lot of our viewers have beenin programme a lot of our viewers have been in touch, particularly at this issue that if an unpaid care i a carers alliance —— a carer gets the carer's carers alliance —— a carer gets the ca rer�*s allowance carers alliance —— a carer gets the carer's allowance but they earn a few pence over that in anotherjob, all of the carer's allowance has to be paid back, they sometimes don't find out for months or years later so they get into debt and they are out of pocket. if authorities know that that person is over the limit, why can't the carer be told immediately so that they don't spend and get into debt? brute immediately so that they don't spend and get into debt?— and get into debt? we do remind --eole of and get into debt? we do remind people of the _ and get into debt? we do remind people of the threshold - and get into debt? we do remind people of the threshold that i and get into debt? we do remind | people of the threshold that there is that triggers the withdrawal or lack of qualification for the benefit. the threshold itself is slightly complicated because people can offset some of their expenses against their earnings in order to apply to that particular threshold.

so it is not possible from the outside to look at an individual and say, you are earning a certain amount, you must be over the threshold. d0 amount, you must be over the threshold-— amount, you must be over the threshold. , ., ., ., , threshold. do you agree that it is incredibly obligated _ threshold. do you agree that it is incredibly obligated and - threshold. do you agree that it is incredibly obligated and people i threshold. do you agree that it is l incredibly obligated and people are getting confused and into debt because of that? == getting confused and into debt because of that?— because of that? -- incredibly complicated? _ because of that? -- incredibly complicated? it _ because of that? -- incredibly complicated? it is _ because of that? -- incredibly complicated? it is a _ because of that? -- incredibly complicated? it is a benefit i because of that? -- incredibly l complicated? it is a benefit that has been around since 1975 or so and it is fundamentally always had that particular feature to it, it is fundamentally always had that particularfeature to it, appoint earnings at which, above which you would not qualify so this is nothing new. the important thing is that my department makes it clear to people that we have an individual responsibility to make sure we are eligible for the benefits that we apply to. if somebody is over, often it is a genuine mistake, we work with people to come up with a proportionate and sensible way of repaying the money is. there is the ability of peel as well if somebody —— an appeal is someone feels they are being treated incorrectly. so we

are being treated incorrectly. so we are always looking at these benefits on a day—to—day basis but that is a feature of a benefit which has a cliff edge within it and it has been there since the 19705. mei! cliff edge within it and it has been there since the 1970s. mel stride, thank ou there since the 1970s. mel stride, thank you for— there since the 1970s. mel stride, thank you forjoining _ there since the 1970s. mel stride, thank you forjoining us, - there since the 1970s. mel stride, thank you forjoining us, work i there since the 1970s. mel stride, | thank you forjoining us, work and pensions secretary. do you remember learning your times tables at school? sadly, yes! well, pupils in one class in stevenage have been memorising their maths to taylor swift. it's a technique which primary school teacher and tiktok star kit brown uses and has led him to ammas almost two million subscribers on the app. here he is in action. # i've got nothing in my brain # that's what people say, mm—mm. # so i try to calculate, mm—mm. # so now we're gonna learn. # until the end of term. # that's what people say, mm—mm. # so i try to calculate, mm—mm. # one times six is six and. # two times six is 12 and.

they were so supportive of my tiktok as a whole and the head teacher has been incredible in ensuring that it is done in a safe way which prioritises the children's safeguarding so we can show what we get up to in the classroom and give the parents a window into their learning which is really nice. this time last week, _ learning which is really nice. this time last week, we _ learning which is really nice. this time last week, we were talking about the fact that it was 100 years of bbc education and we were playing some old wireless radio reports where children were talked at an told and taught in a very formal way on the radio. i guess tiktok and what you're doing is education for the 21st century.— what you're doing is education for the 21st century. absolutely, times have changed. _ the 21st century. absolutely, times have changed, even _ the 21st century. absolutely, times have changed, even i _ the 21st century. absolutely, times have changed, even i was - the 21st century. absolutely, times have changed, even i was at i the 21st century. absolutely, times. have changed, even i was at school, we always remember the teachers that got us involved in learning and made us feel passionate about learning. but we remember teachers also that make us feel the opposite and made us feel like we didn't enjoy being in the classroom. so i am trying to move with the times and think of new

but only 37% are planning to vote in the up—and—coming general election. once that season is over, your vote kind of doesn't mean anything. for people that cast their vote at the last election or the referendum, that has tangible impacts on our futures and we are still feeling that impact now. remember, you can head over to our website to find out lots more about the election, as well as watch a special bbc london audience debate with mayoral candidates. a record number of people have applied to take part in next year's london marathon. event organisers said they'd received more than 840,000 applications — smashing the previous record of 578,000 set by last yea r�*s ballot. let's take a look at the tubes now. and just some minor delays on the northern line at the moment. today's weather. much milder — and mostly dry too — withjust a chance of the odd shower. a top temperature of 18 degrees.

that's it. but head to the bbc news app for more of the day's news. bye— bye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today... 0n the brink. the bbc understands that humza yousaf is expected to resign as first minister of scotland as soon as today. a diplomatic row deepens over the number of migrants travelling from the uk into the republic of ireland. ministers from both countries are due to meet today. managing migraines in the workplace. a call for businesses to show more support for staff who suffer.

warmer and drier later in the week. it's monday the 29th april. our main story, the bbc understands that humza yousaf is expected to resign as first minister of scotland as soon as today. 0ur scotland correspondent alexandra mackenzie

two votes of no confidence this week. he may have been considering his options because of that.— his options because of that. because to survive the _ his options because of that. because to survive the no-confidence - his options because of that. because to survive the no-confidence vote i his options because of that. because to survive the no-confidence vote in| to survive the no—confidence vote in his leadership, he needed the support of one member of the opposition in holyrood. that looked increasingly difficult. we understand that he has ruled out a deal with alex salmond's alba party so his other options were to look to the greens. they are still furious with him too and that power—sharing agreement. it looks like he could resign as early as today but no confirmation as the on that. we await an confirmation as the on that. , await an announcement about politics being politics, people have to think about who might replace him. what are the names people should be thinking about looking at?

absolutely, things do move very quickly, even though there is no resignation. there were reports that john swinney has been approached to take over in the interim, at least, and then kate forbes is being seen as a possible replacement. she was narrowly beaten by humza yousaf last time, but she had insisted a couple of days ago that she was backing the first minister humza yousaf. there were some other names in the frame, the education secretary, the culture secretary angus robinson, the health secretary angus robinson, the health secretary neil gray but any successor would face similar difficulties or challenges including running a minority government. that has been done before. certainly not impossible. thank you very much, we will come back to you if we get any news, thank you.

the northern ireland secretary will meet ireland's foreign minister today as a row deepens over the number of asylum seekers arriving in the republic from the uk. the irish government says it's seeing an influx of migrants coming from northern ireland because they are "fearful" of being sent to rwanda. it's planning to change the law so they can be returned to the uk, but the uk government says it won't accept this. 0ur political correspondent helen catt reports. the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland is designed to be easy to cross. but the irish government says it's recently seen an influx of asylum seekers coming over it because they're fearful they'll be sent to rwanda if they stay in the uk. and ireland can't return them. the irish high court ruled last month that would be unlawful because of the existence of the rwanda scheme. the irish government is now planning to pass new laws to enable it to do so. the uk government, in choosing brexit, chose to go it alone on migration. what they've actually seen since then is an increase in people seeking asylum in their country — their policies are their policies.

what my objective is as minister forjustice is to ensure that we have a structure and a migration system that works. but a uk government source said that until the eu accepts the return to france of people who've crossed the channel, it won't be taking any returns from ireland. a planned meeting between the home secretary and ms mcentee has been postponed. the prime minister told sky news the situation showed the scheme was already working. the deterrent is, according to your comment, already having an impact because people are worried about coming here and that demonstrates exactly what i'm saying. if people come to our country illegally but know that they won't be able to stay, they're much less likely to come. small boat crossings have been made in record numbers this year. the latest figures show 7,000 migrants arrived this way before the end of april. labour says it shows the plan isn't working. the home office said it was in the final stages of making the rwanda scheme operational. several papers are reporting that migrants will start being detained this week before the first flight

is due to leave in ten to 12 weeks' time. helen catt, bbc news. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster. there are reports that there may be changes to when the government wanted to detain asylum seekers londoner —— sooner than planned? that's right, some reports this morning that detentions of those to the government might want to send to rwanda could begin even today, sooner than some people had expected. rishi sunak�*s time frame getting the flights to rwanda is eight to ten weeks taking you to earlyjuly. the home office has not commented on whether it is going ahead with those detentions this week but they have acknowledged the government is entering what they call the final phase of operationalising this landmark policy and say that at some stage

inevitably this will involve detaining people for the first flights. that is not a denial. labour say the government's approach to illegal migration is not working, pointing to new home office figures showing that more than 7000 people have arrived in small boats so far this year, highest figure at this stage of the year since records began in 2018.— stage of the year since records began in 2018. the government is proposing changes to the disability benefits system arguing the current "one size fits all" approach needs to be overhauled to ensure help is targeted at the people who need it most. more than three point three million people currently receive personal independence payments — known as pip — to help with the extra cost of living with a health condition or disability. the changes could include stopping cash payments and offering claimants one—off grants instead. disability charity scope has described the plans as a "reckless assault on disabled people." mp5 will debate assisted dying for the first time

in almost two years today, after a petition backed by dame esther rantzen secured more than 200,000 signatures. assisted suicide is currently illegal in england, wales and northern ireland. in scotland, whilst it is not a specific criminal offence, those who help others to end their lives risk being charged with murder or other offences. our correspondent graham satchell reports. esther rantzen's daughter rebecca wilcox in downing street, delivering a petition with 200,000 signatures demanding a change in the law to allow assisted dying. dame esther has terminal lung cancer and wants the choice to have what she calls a dignified death. the peace it would give ourfamily and my mum to know that her future has a dignified, pain—free end, it's huge. i know i keep saying the word huge, but it's just so massive that it's beyond words. campaigners say any new law would have strict safeguards. assisted dying would only be

our reporter tim muffett has been to meet one woman who has been living with migraine for years but has only recently reached out for help at work. maria has a greatjob, which she loves, but her migraines have had a huge impact on her life and her career. she's such a lovely girl, isn't she? it is a tightening in my neck and then a really heavy, severe, throbbing pain all across my forehead. you feel almost like your heads in a clamp and it's being really squeezed. i have them sort of 30% to 50% of the time. what impact has this had on your life? a huge impact. there are so many... there are so many occasions and events, conversations. sorry. that i don't remember. couldn't fully participate in. have just felt like... ..you know i've not really been able to contribute in the way that i would typically.

ijust haven't been able to fulfill my potential in life. i do feel robbed. morning, everyone. i work from home, but i have meetings all of the time. apologies. i've got a bit of a migraine today, so i'm just going to have my ice pack on. i'm very confident to have ice packs on the back of my neck and my head during meetings. people are very understanding. just helps to be able to just continue with meetings rather than change them or reschedule them. brightness and glare can be triggering, but also can make the pain worse when you have a migraine. so it were able to kind of access my machine remotely and look at what those settings were, show me how to change them myself, so that during a migraine attack i might want to change them beyond what the normal settings are, if that would help. they talked about the importance of background lighting. i think it's really important that other employers consider this. if you've got a great employee and you want to keep them employed, you want to help them to do a good

job, then it's really important to build in some flexibility if you can. for maria, her migraine is is really extreme. - i've got massive sympathy for her trying to cope. - hopefully, some food for thought. how important is it, do you think, that other employers do what this place is doing? it's hugely important. it's just normalising that this is a condition many people live with and they need to do certain things to just get through the day. just feeling understood often is what allows me to better cope and manage the condition. loads of you getting in touch about at this morning. we're joined now byjane smith, who suffers from migraine and had to leave a job due to the condition, and rob music from the migraine trust. good morning to both of you. can we talk about the impact migraine has had on you and your working life? i

was diagnosed with migraine aged nine. my grandma suffered, so we knew a little bit about the condition. throughout my adult years, it has changed somewhat but throughout adulthood i would have about five days prior to my period each month where i would really struggle. in my 205, i probably didn't have the confidence to speak to my employers, kept it hidden. the migraines became so difficult to balance with family, with work. i used to travel and work away from home a lot. we took the decision as a family that we would sell the house, sell the nice cars to allow me to have a complete career change, one that enabled me to carry on working whilst trying to deal with this terrible condition. i think as i have got older i have got more confidence and now i talk to

employers. i have always taken pride in my work, worked really hard. just by having conversations with employers about some of the adjustments they can make has enabled me to carry on working and have a successful career, so i would encourage people with migraine to talk about it. employers generally do not know how we suffer. the adjustments they can make are really easy and all responsible employers should be doing that anyway. what should be doing that anyway. what are the adjustments _ should be doing that anyway. what are the adjustments that could be made? are the ad'ustments that could be made? ,, , , , , .,, ., made? quite simply, sunlight has a real impact- — made? quite simply, sunlight has a real impact- i _ made? quite simply, sunlight has a real impact. i used _ made? quite simply, sunlight has a real impact. i used to _ made? quite simply, sunlight has a real impact. i used to place - made? quite simply, sunlight has a real impact. i used to place a - real impact. i used to place a window where the sun would come round in the afternoon. just moving where i sat in the office, not having the temperature to heart. that tends to be air—conditioning wars in offices, someone is too hot

and someone is too cold. having it centrally managed. being able to take breaks, staying well hydrated, eating regularly. the most important thing is flexible working. my migraines tend to increase on the intensity scale as the day progresses. for me to be able to start work early and finish earlier is massive. home—working is a big one round. these are adjustments that are going to cost employers lots of money. these are working practices that every business should be doing. i think we need to put some onus on the people suffering with migraine to have those conversations. i with migraine to have those conversations.— with migraine to have those conversations. . , , ~ ., conversations. i am guessing, i know obviously stress _ conversations. i am guessing, i know obviously stress is _ conversations. i am guessing, i know obviously stress is not _ conversations. i am guessing, i know obviously stress is not the _ conversations. i am guessing, i know obviously stress is not the only - obviously stress is not the only cause of migraines. if people are less stressed at work because they feel their workplaces looking after them and making those adjustments, then maybe they will be less prone

you have to go to work and are pushed to go to work, you are creating that stress. you are there but not really present, you are not working. 43 million days are lost through absences. the company will benefit as well.— benefit as well. what you have said is bein: benefit as well. what you have said is being echoed _ benefit as well. what you have said is being echoed by _ benefit as well. what you have said is being echoed by all _ benefit as well. what you have said is being echoed by all the - benefit as well. what you have said is being echoed by all the people i is being echoed by all the people who have written into us this morning. they have lots of comments. joanne says because she has lived with migraine since she was a child. she is 46. she has previously lost jobs because at that she has had to take multiple days off work. emma says, sometimes her migraine pain is so bad you need to leave work only to be told by her employer there is no colour and she has to stay. that is what has — no colour and she has to stay. that is what has to _ no colour and she has to stay. trust is what has to change. people feel like they are being discriminated against. —— there is no cover. a

workplace pledge has been launched. we can get companies to sign up and show their commitment to people with migraine are now making every effort they can to be the best employer they can to be the best employer they can to be the best employer they can be. we they can to be the best employer they can be— they can to be the best employer the can be. ~ . ~ ., they can be. we were talking about employers. — they can be. we were talking about employers, bosses, _ they can be. we were talking about employers, bosses, people - they can be. we were talking about employers, bosses, people setting| employers, bosses, people setting policies. you suggest it is also about colleagues understanding the condition as well.— about colleagues understanding the condition as well. people who suffer from migraine _ condition as well. people who suffer from migraine shouldn't _ condition as well. people who suffer from migraine shouldn't be - from migraine shouldn't be frightened of having those discussions. you do not know what you do not know. just to explain to somebody what it is like living like that. i have had some really dark days where i have got to the stage and thought, can i go on living like this? just talking to people, getting that level of understanding, i want to also emphasise that people who suffer with migraine are probably some of the most resilient workers you can employ. if you can

get through life living with migraine, i walked around on a broken ankle. in days and i was still going into work. just by making small adjustments, you can make such a significant difference. as part of the problem that sometimes 5 people do not believe you believe people believe people a migraine, people think it they have a migraine, people think it is a bad headache? there is probably a lot of that. my personal experience is you can see it on my face. i have hardly had any time off sick throughout my career, despite battling this condition.— career, despite battling this condition. , , _ condition. has been helped by flexible working, _ condition. has been helped by flexible working, just - condition. has been helped by flexible working, just being i condition. has been helped by l flexible working, just being able condition. has been helped by - flexible working, just being able to finish earlier and may cut the hours has made such there is probably a lot of that. my personal experience is you can see it on my face. i have hardly had any time off sick throughout my career, despite battling this condition. has been helped by flexible working, just being able to finish earlier and

good morning. well, after a rather chilly and somewhat damp end to the weekend, we are in for something a little warmer this week. it's a bright start this morning. we start the day with temperatures in single figures. we will see fairweather cloud bubbling up, the outside chance of a shower but it should be largely dry with some decent spells of sunshine. it's breezy but temperatures today reaching a maximum of 18 celsius so feeling warm in the sunshine. overnight tonight it is dry and it's clear. the minimum temperature staying above zero, between five and seven celsius. the wind a little lighter. now, tomorrow, we will see the wind strengthen again. we have got low pressure to the west and coming in from the near continent, a warm front so we might get a bright start with a bit of sunshine. we will see the cloud just edging in and with that we might see some spells of rain. still some brighter spells, though, especially further west. temperatures are still holding up at around 17 celsius. as we head further through this week, it is going to be quite unsettled. we will see some spells of rain at times but the temperature is much improved compared to last week,

staying in the mid to high teens celsius. that's it but head to the website for more of the day's news and to watch an raf plane full of giraffes — the cuddly toy type that is — a fundraiser for great ormond street hospital. now it's back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. mp5 will debate assisted dying for the first time in almost two years today, after a petition backed by dame esther rantzen secured more than 200,000 signatures. it is a polarising issue with strong feelings on both sides. this morning we've brought together two people on opposing sides of the debate. sophie blake has terminal breast cancer and wants the right to die on her own terms. she's been speaking to the former paralympian baroness tanni grey—thompson, who's concerned that disabled people will be left vulnerable by any change in the law. i was diagnosed with primary breast

cancer back in december 2020 and then given the all clear. a year later unfortunately, i was told that it had come back and had spread and that i was now terminal secondary breast cancer. i was given three years to live. when the time comes, because i know it can be brutal, i'm very aware of the fact that i would like to die peacefully and not suffer, which is why i've become involved with the campaign, with dignity in dying, and for the assisted dying bill. and it's something i do feel very passionately about. and i think that's something that we can all agree on, is that nobody wants anyone to die in pain or suffer. a challenge that we have in parliament is how you can get legislation through that protects people. there's a huge number of people who aren't vocal, who don't feel they have choice and are really worried, certainly around disabled people are worried that if the law does change, then they will be encouraged to end their lives, whether they've got a terminal

diagnosis or not. palliative care in this country is a complete postcode lottery. and, you know, that provision of 24 hour palliative care by specialist doctorsjust isn't good enough at the moment. and that needs to change. i agree very much on that. for me, i support this bill in particular and this one because it is for terminally ill patients only. the person can die at home. and that's how i would like to be, you know, at home with my loved ones. i know people on the other side will say, you know, it's a very tight piece of legislation. you know, there's no attempt to expand it. in everyjurisdiction, rules have become relaxed, it has expanded. canada has expanded, california has voted to expand it. so once it opens the door, it's really difficult to dial back. but i think with the house select committee's report

that theyjust had, the inquiry, and the mp5 spent 14 months looking into that and they investigated all the different ways it's being done around the world, when they looked into oregon and places, they kind of discredited a lot of those arguments because it showed that it didn't go down a slippery slope. i do have this huge concern that it would be open to abuse, and especially for disabled people, a lot of disabled people are really worried that they'll be pushed towards thinking that this is the only way out and that they're a burden on society so they don't have any choice. for someone like myself, and i know many of my friends who have stage four, obviously i can't talk for everybody, but i know that many of my friends who have it, it gives us that chance to live with this horrendous diagnosis and this disease, knowing that when the time comes, we can have a peaceful death. do you think we should talk about death more? because we don't, unless it's

right in front of you. 0h,100%,100%. death is a taboo, isn't it? but it's the one thing we're all guaranteed to do. that all guaranteed to do. is the kind of conversation taking that is the kind of conversation taking place in westminster today as mp5 debate that issue. full coverage on bbc news. as of today, companies are facing new import checks and charges for food and plants from the eu due to brexit. nina is at a flower wholesaler in london with traders who are affected by the changes. morning, jon and sally. i can hear some people rolling their eyes when they heard the word brexit because we are still feeling the fallout. we have got stockier which has come here via holland, the tunnel, then folkestone, so any changes to eu

regulation does notjust affect prices, but also the flow. everyday you are responsible for taking the stock and making sure it gets to the right places, if there is a delay, how big an impact does it have business? we how big an impact does it have business?— how big an impact does it have business? ~ ., ., , business? we have no delays there, an hinu business? we have no delays there, an him is business? we have no delays there, anything is always — business? we have no delays there, anything is always on _ business? we have no delays there, anything is always on time, - business? we have no delays there, anything is always on time, it - business? we have no delays there, anything is always on time, it is - anything is always on time, it is one of the best company out there for flower hostiles. delay is not a problem when it comes to us. if problem when it comes to us. if there is any interruption of the flow with these new regulations, i guess your customers would not be happy. guess your customers would not be ha - . , ., guess your customers would not be ha . _ , ., ., guess your customers would not be ha - . , ., ., , guess your customers would not be ha--. , ., .,, happy. they would not be happy but we would compensate _ happy. they would not be happy but we would compensate them - happy. they would not be happy but we would compensate them and - happy. they would not be happy but we would compensate them and go | happy. they would not be happy but i we would compensate them and go to their needs at that time. bnki we would compensate them and go to their needs at that time.— their needs at that time. anki very much. his boss _ their needs at that time. anki very much. his boss was _ their needs at that time. anki very much. his boss was saying - their needs at that time. anki very j much. his boss was saying earlier, if there is one row is missing and there is a wedding orfuneral planned, they will drive all the way to the event to make sure the customer is happy. things are about to get tougherfor them, customer is happy. things are about to get tougher for them, because eight years since we voted to leave

the eu, three years since we left a single market, something called the border targeting operating model phase two is about to kick in, meat, dairy, plants and seeds will be subjected to physical checks at borders. that will have a cost to importers which could have a cost for you and me at the tills. weighing up the cost of importing cheese. this shop in south london has been doing it for 30 years, but new charges for checks at the uk border due to brexit are pushing up those costs from today. as a business, we will have to maintain our margins. so we'll probably have to put our prices up. the new import charges will affect all fresh produce coming from the eu to the uk. that's meat, fish and dairy products. each type of product in a single shipment will face a charge of up to £29. if a business is importing multiple types of products, say, cheese and meat, it'll pay for each category, up to a maximum of £145 per consignment.

extra costs that could well be passed on to us as customers. the charges also apply to plants, seeds and flowers imported from the eu. that'll affect businesses like this garden centre in surrey. so what worries them most? financially, and waiting times. waiting times are the biggest. our business model is based on speed and efficiency, and if that's taken away, that's only going to be more detrimental to the company. and there are similar concerns at this cafe and deli in tunbridge wells, which imports food and wine from italy. i will have to pay high prices to bring my goods in and those prices will be passed to the consumer. the products we sell, i can't go and buy anywhere else. the government says the charges will help to pay for world class border facilities, adding that the checks are needed to ensure the quality and safety of imports to protect food supply, farmers and the environment. ben boulos, bbc news.

the snp that he would quit, so jogging the snp that he would quit, so jogging is under way on who to replace him. some of the names in the frame, john swinney, kate forbes who stood against him recently in the last election.— the last election. there is set to be an announcement _ the last election. there is set to be an announcement of- the last election. there is set to be an announcement of some i the last election. there is set to i be an announcement of some kind the last election. there is set to - be an announcement of some kind on the future of humza yousaf. there is a live page on the bbc news website it is because operated. africa constantly updated. going to hospital can be a nerve—racking time especially for children. well, an app has been created by an nhs doctor to try and help children through the process, and it's proving popular as simon marks has been finding out. confusion, anxiety. a trip to hospital can be a frightening time for a child. in 2018, dr chris evans was working as an anaesthetist and realised

there was a problem. about 50% of children develop symptoms of bedwetting, nightmares, separation anxiety after a planned elective procedure, and it's ongoing in about 7—8% at one year after the procedure. chris realised things could be improved if children were given information in advance and in a language they understand, games. ali is going to have an mri at hospital today. the app works to support children of different age groups through the process of coming in for a procedure. the scanner won't touch ali's body, so it won't hurt. we want to give them that personalised approach. before they visit the hospital, children can explore it in virtual reality. i remember this well. alexander was born in portsmouth, three months prematurely, with complications which required multiple surgeries during the first eight years of his life. he was one of the first children to use littlejourney. he would know what was coming he knew the roles of the staff around. he knew the different

areas of the hospital that he'd be going into. that was the room where they would be putting the mask on and he would be going to sleep. you might feel a bit tired _ and groggy when you first wake up. i found it very helpful. ifound it better, ifound out what was going to happen to me. made you a bit less nervous, did it? it definitely did. i know i'm going to wake up. not like sleeping beauty and sleep for a thousand years. even after bedtime, the app was still being used. what we found is that parents were using the app and learning from the children's animations, so we introduced ways to deliver information to the parents. parents like cat, who lives in sway. her daughter vivi needed an mri scan. you get this letter through saying you have this appointment, but there's not a huge amount of information of what it's going to be like. that's some kind of a tight black and white text and that's it. but having the app and having the colour and having the ability to explore and just gave vivi and me a bit more information about the day.

it shows you all sorts of games and you can go on to the website to go and see what their names are and say what kind of character they are. the games have a purpose. swirling colours can offer a distraction during a blood test, and that could be particularly important for children with neurodivergent conditions such as autism or adhd. last year, we worked with neurodiverse children to understand what their needs were. some neurodiverse families were using the application for months and months after their surgery and using it as a way to understand what actually happened and to reframe the process in their mind. and that caught the attention of the lego foundation. chris was invited to lego headquarters in denmark and offered funding ofjust over £2 million over the next two years. we were very impressed with how they really embedded inclusive learning through play into their design of modules

for their app and also how they were so diligent in co—creating with neurodivergent children and really bringing their needs and perspectives and voices into their solution from the outset. we know that when solutions are designed for what we would say the few, they actually become relevant for the many. the partnership with the lego foundation and the money that's linked with itjust means we can accelerate much harder. it's just gone crazy, really. that was simon marks reporting. what a brilliant idea. here's carol with a look at the weather. she has been teasing us with tropical temperatures, nearly? well said, nearly! it is certainly turning all this week. if you are stepping out, tree pollen levels across england and wales are either moderate or high, we are talking about oak tree with a little bit of plane tree here and there. as we go

through the course of the week it will turn milder but it has been quieter in terms of the temperature, a touch of frost in the highlands but temperatures are picking up, seven to 11. it is still going to be rain in the forecast, we have that today, and you can see how nicely in the next few days the yellow and amber is on our charts, as we head into wednesday we have got a lot of low cloud, mist and murk across eastern areas in particular. i have mentioned in the rain a few times, this is it for today, north and east, claiming northern ireland. there will be showers here. and there is an arm of rain pushing east, a blustery day. strongest winds with exposure out towards the west, driest conditions in the south and east. there is an outside chance of a shower. but we will have the highest temperatures here, 18

degrees. this evening and overnight, the rain continues north and east, to be replaced in the south—west by another area of low pressure bringing in rain and strengthening winds. clearer skies tonight but it is going to be a milder night than last night, overnight lows 728 degrees. —— 7—8. after a sunny start in the east a weather front will come in and introduce thicker cloud and the odd shower. the rain in the west will push steadily north across western areas through the day, accompanied by quite gusty winds. central and eastern areas mostly dry with some sunshine away from the south—east where we have another weather front coming in with cloud and the odd shower. temperatures tomorrow in the sunshine getting up tomorrow in the sunshine getting up to 19 degrees. you can see that they are climbing. on wednesday the weather fronts moved from the east

towards the west, still a bit of uncertainty on the exact position which could change, but if you remember the easterly wind coming in, it is dragging in low cloud, mistand murk. as in, it is dragging in low cloud, mist and murk. as the weather fronts moved from the east towards the west, they will bring in some rain which could be heavy. it may not reach the south—west of england and wales, and more northern ireland and western scotland it is brighter for most with a few showers. temperatures could get to 20 degrees in east anglia. thank you, carol. quite appropriate, really, thank you! what started off as a way of saying thank you to those that helped us through the covid pandemic has now turned into an annual event. this year's focus of thank you day being held injuly is to celebrate those who go above and beyond for us in the community. lets take a look at what's in store.

# i want to thank you # thank you for being a friend # people, let me tell you about a friend # i want to thank you # thank you for being a friend # tell you about a friend

# thank you for being a friend. also, because, doesn't it! —— it warms the cockles, doesn't it! you are never said for this day, ross kemp. why does it appeal to you? we live kemp. why does it appeal to you? , live in a fantastic country. there is so much division around the world, there are so many great people in this country that give up their spare time to help others, carers, people who run the local football team on a saturday, it is about saying thank you to them but it's also about bringing us together. it's about forming bridges inside our community. i don't know about you but i am often too busy to stop and have a conversation with my neighbours because i'm going from a to b. this is an opportunity on the 7th ofjuly sunday, to come together, have a slice of cake, cup

of tea, a glass of what you fancy, and just say thank you to those people who go the extra mile for us in our community. and also, hopefully, this year, we are going to work with a charity cold playing out, play streets is an idea, you go to the local council and you can find an area where you live that you can hand over and reclaim it, give it to the kids for two to three hours to play safely and legally. and they can get to know each other. sometimes people live very close to each other, the kids at the same age but they never get the chance to interact. this is another thing we want to do on thank you day. we are so used to seeing _ want to do on thank you day. we are so used to seeing you _ want to do on thank you day. we are so used to seeing you in _ want to do on thank you day. we are so used to seeing you in tricky - so used to seeing you in tricky situations, being a tough guy, how on earth did you get involved in thank you day? m on earth did you get involved in thank you day?— on earth did you get involved in thank you day? i think it's really imortant thank you day? i think it's really important that _ thank you day? i think it's really important that we _ thank you day? i think it's really important that we celebrate - thank you day? i think it's really important that we celebrate all i thank you day? i think it's really i important that we celebrate all the good people in our society. i spent a lot of time travelling the world meeting the people who are quite

interesting, not always doing the right thing. this is an opportunity to say thank you to the unsung heroes, the people that go the extra mile. and i think that has got to be a good thing. with so much division out there, it is time to build some bridges in our community and say thank you to the people who go the extra mile to make a difference a. why don't you kick us off? who would you like to thank in your community? lots of people but in particular a guy called graham hayward who helps out with a local football, he was one of the first people there at the roll—out, giving up his time completely free. he is involved in seven different charities locally. he doesn't sit still, he's a true hero of mine. the lady on the platform at maidenhead railway station, come rain or shine, no matter what had station, come rain or shine, no matter what bad mood i am in, she always hands me a coffee with a smile. and the people who live next to my mum and dad actually, who are

always there for them when i cannot be there all my brother cannot be there. there are people who you take for granted but this is an opportunity to recognise the effort they put in day in and day out for other. �* �* , ., ,., they put in day in and day out for other. �* �*, ., ,., _, , other. and it's about community sirit other. and it's about community s - irit i other. and it's about community spirit i guess. — other. and it's about community spirit i guess, isn't _ other. and it's about community spirit i guess, isn't it? _ other. and it's about community spirit i guess, isn't it? in- other. and it's about community spirit i guess, isn't it? in our- spirit i guess, isn't it? in our modern life now, it can be difficult and challenging certainly to keep that going. is this the way that we put a little bit of effort in to try to protect that? it put a little bit of effort in to try to protect that?— put a little bit of effort in to try to protect that? it is 'ust one day, es, to protect that? it is 'ust one day, yes. sunday h to protect that? it is 'ust one day, yes. sunday 7th _ to protect that? it is 'ust one day, yes, sunday 7th of _ to protect that? it isjust one day, yes, sunday 7th ofjuly, _ to protect that? it isjust one day, yes, sunday 7th ofjuly, hopefully| yes, sunday 7th ofjuly, hopefully the sun will be shining. we have had a miserable weather lately, i'm so glad some good stuff is on the way. it is a chance to just say hello to people and spend a bit of time with people. being in a community is about communing with each other, and this is a great opportunity to do that stop just to say hello and find out what you have in common with the people who live around you, not what
