Transcripts For BBCNEWS Breakfast 20240714

There are stormy days ahead and for some of us, hotter ones too. The full forecast is on its way. Its saturday the 22nd june. Our top stories. Police were called to the home of conservative mp borisjohnson in the early hours of friday morning because of reports of a domestic disturbance. Mrjohnson and jeremy hunt are due to address Party Members in birmingham later today as part of their leadership bids. Our Political Correspondent Helena Wilkinson is in our london newsroom. Helena, what more do we know . We know that officers from the metropolitan police went round to the flat which mrjohnson shares with his partner Carrie Symonds in the early hours of friday morning. After a neighbour reported hearing a loud argument. The Guardian Newspaper says they have spoken to a neighbour who recorded the alleged a iow neighbour who recorded the alleged a row from their flat. It is important to stress that we havent heard that recording itself, but the neighbour has said that they heard first of all a woman screaming followed by slamming and banging. In the recording, mrjohnsons partner is allegedly heard to say, get off me and get out of my flat. Mrjohnson can then be heard refusing to leave the flat. And then he tells the woman to get off his laptop before there was a loud bang. Then the recording goes on, there is another comment allegedly by mrjohnsons partner where she is heard saying, you just dont care for anything because you are spoilt, you have no ca re because you are spoilt, you have no care for money oi because you are spoilt, you have no care for money or anything. The metropolitan police have released a statement in connection with this incident. They confirm that they went to a propertyjust incident. They confirm that they went to a property just after midnight yesterday responding to a call from a local resident in south east london. The statement goes on to say, the colour was concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour. They go on to say. In terms of the police, that matter has been dealt with. There is no further action. We have asked Boris Johnsons spokesperson for comment. They are saying no comment at this stage. Significantly they are not denying the story, but the star is on the front pages of many of the newspapers this morning, headlines thatjohnson would much prefer headlines thatjohnson would much p refer to headlines thatjohnson would much prefer to be without considering the leadership contest. Separately, the hustings begin today in birmingham, the two contestants. This is the second stage of the conservative leadership contest, there are 16 hustings, the first one in birmingham this afternoon. The candidates will get around 45 minutes each where they will pitch themselves to begin with in front of themselves to begin with in front of the tory membership, they are the ones that will be deciding who the next leader is, and then they will be allowed to ask both of the candidates questions. We heard from ajeremy candidates questions. We heard from a jeremy hunt, one candidates questions. We heard from ajeremy hunt, one of candidates questions. We heard from a jeremy hunt, one of the candidates a jeremy hunt, one of the candidates a bit earlier on, and he wants Boris Johnson to take part in televised debates much sooner. The point i am making is it makes a mockery of this leadership contest for the conservative party if people will have started voting before they have a chance to see the two protagonists on tv. And we are, in terms of the hustings, going to be able to see it. There will be cameras in them. The media are not going to be allowed to ask any questions. This is going to carry on for about three weeks, so expect to see much more of the candidates. Helena, thank you very much. Hundreds of events are being held today to mark the First National windrush day more than 70 years since hundreds of caribbean migrants sailed over to help rebuild post war britain. The government made the announcement last year after it emerged that some of the Windrush Generation and theirfamilies had been wrongly accused of living in the uk illegally. Today its been announced that a windrush memorial will be built at londons waterloo station. Churches become could become safe spaces for children with knife crime. Churches could become safe spaces for children at risk of becoming victims of knife crime under plans to be discussed at next months meeting of church of england leaders. A priest from south london wants parishes in Serious Violence hotspots to open their doors to Vulnerable Children during the period immediately after school and to provide knife amnesty bins. Charlotte gallagher has more. The tragic toll of knife crime in the uk. More than 100 people have been stabbed to death so far this year. Many, just teenagers. Scenes like this all too familiar. Now a london vicar says the church of england needs to do more to help children at risk of being attacked. Canon rosemarie mallett, whos a vicar in brixton, says churches should open the door to pupils after schools finish, providing a place where they can relax and importantly feel safe. She has also suggested placing knife amnesty bins in churches to encourage more people to hand in their weapons. The proposal will be discussed by Church Leaders at next months general synod. And as knife crime continues to rise, more families grieve their loved ones. Canon mallett hopes her plan will save lives. Charlotte gallagher, bbc news. Almost half of packaging used by supermarkets in the uk cant be easily recycled oi recycled at all, according to new research. It is said that a lot of material used to keep food fresh is unnecessary. A Consortium Says retailers are working hard to make sure all Plastic Packaging is reusable or recyclable, which says that Sustainable Materials and clearer labelling should be used. So its clear that there is lots more supermarkets should be doing to make sure their rcycling labelling is easy to understand for consumers and wherever possible, supermarkets should also do away with unnecessary packaging. The government should invest in better recycling infrastructure and across the board we would like to see better, more effective information for consumers so we can make the right choices. Hes one of britains best loved singers and now hes one of britains best loved singers and now sir eltonjohn has been honoured by france. He was awarded the legion dhonneur by the french president Emmanuel Macron at a special ceremony in paris. He was praised by mr macron for his contribution to music and his charity work to fight against aids, which sir elton described as his passion. This fight reminds me every day of the extraordinary power of the human spirit and the things that bind us as stronger than those that divide us. As stronger than those that divide us. It is this magical human spirit i will carry with me as a proud member of the legion dhonneur. With the music ringing in my ears, merci. He gave some french at the end there. He knows how to work a crowd. British muslims are getting new religious guidelines which makes it clear that they can donate organs. Until now muslims in the uk have been allowed to accept transplants, but many felt they werent able to donate. Nhs figures show that i7 of people on the transplant waiting list are of asian origin, but less than 2 of asian people are on the organ donor register. And in an nhs survey, 41 of muslims say they definitely would not donate their organ, but only 14 of muslims surveyed say they definitely would donate their organ. With us now is dr nighat arif and her four year old son qasim, who received a liver transplant in 2016. Gerda manning. Good morning. And he received a liver transplant in 2016 and is looking fantastically well now. He has been a trooper, we have gone through the toughest experience that any parent can experience. He was born in 2015, he is our second child, our first one born in 2015, he is our second child, ourfirst one is born in 2015, he is our second child, our first one is fit and healthy and running around here somewhere. When he was three weeks old, he started turning yellow, so i had lots of doctor friends, they would come round and say it is no problem, but then he started getting dark youre in and that is when the alarm bells started ringing. He had alarm bells started ringing. He had a blood test and that showed his liver function was not great at all. So we got blue light to kings couege so we got blue light to Kings College hospital in camberwell and he had a liver biopsy which showed he had a liver biopsy which showed he had a rare liver condition, when i had never heard of. Theyre only 50 people in the world that have this and it was diagnosed by professor Richard Thompson at kings couege professor Richard Thompson at Kings College hospital. The condition is so rare college hospital. The condition is so rare and it means that he cant expire to the bile out of his liver and so it is churning up in the liver, destroying his liver cells. So he will get cirrhosis. You want to talk . You can tuck in a minute, i promise he ended up getting cirrhosis and then a liver cancer when he was about ten months old. And so we were talking we were told that he needed a transplant because until the age of five, he might be ok on the medication, but then with the changes happening in then with the changes happening in the cells, then unfortunately he will have a transplant at some point. Where did that come from . They are m, where did that come from . They are in, when it got to the point . We we re in, when it got to the point . We were desperate at first because we thought we would look at the living donors. My father is in a man and we looked around in the family and we looked around in the family and we looked around in the family and we thought, who is able to have and we thought, who is able to have a match . Iwas and we thought, who is able to have a match . I was a match but living donors is rather complicated and a lengthy process, but a donor came from, later on we were told it was a young boy who had fallen off his bike and the family were asked and they kindly donated his liver to us. Cani they kindly donated his liver to us. Can ijust they kindly donated his liver to us. Can i just say, they kindly donated his liver to us. Can ijust say, qasim, do you want to do mea can ijust say, qasim, do you want to do me a picture. You are good at drawing, and are you . Why dont you doa drawing, and are you . Why dont you do a picture of naga and then we will chat with your mum. Do it there and then we will see it at the end. You have a couple of minutes. Just explain to us, we heard about statistics of the numbers, the percentage of muslims you donate. What is the issue here . There is a sense that they are doing something wrong . Talk to us about it. There is not the sense they are doing wrong, the clarity in the guidelines in islam, but that is with other face. Looking atjudaism, christianity, all religions, there is little clarity in regards to donation. As muslims we believe and understand that our body is a gift given by god and therefore when we die, we will have to return that gifted some point. In islam. That is up for interpretation. There have been some campaigning, a man from bristol, he waited 23 years for a kidney transplant, what happens in the process for a fatwa to be put down to say it is ok . It isa to be put down to say it is ok . It is a religious decree, it means that guidelines are revised, the scriptures and islamic manuals are looked at and in order to provide clarity in a modern society where technology and investment in medicine has come a long, long way, and now with the fatwa, being able to say what is actual death . It is when there the heart has stopped beating, and when that has stopped beating, and when that has stopped beating, that means in medicine. If the brain is dead, but the heart is still beating, not technically dead, but that is the only way you could have and are in transplant. Now we know that blood stem cells, some organs can be retrieved after they heart has stopped beating. That isa they heart has stopped beating. That is a significant thing. So after the how stopped beating, you can still retrieve organs and therefore as it is permissible. Where are you after . Are you going there . And it allows us to donate the organs. Im so sorry. It is so lovely he is so full of life. Qasim, what is your favourite thing . Would you like to do best . What is your favourite thing . I have heard you do a bit of singing. The message about this, and it goes across faiths, is how important it is that people do donate. It is incredible. 0urjourney was horrendous and a journey that took us over a year and horrendous and a journey that took us over a year and were still going through to a degree, he still has a monthly checkups, but there was the desperation that we couldnt find an organ. And in the black asian ethnic minorities, there are rare blood types and conditions that you only find in those communities and it is vital those communities come forward. Now they can speak to their iman, speakto forward. Now they can speak to their iman, speak to their religious leaders and have the conversation. Qasim, can you tell us about the pictures. Explain these pictures. Show me these pictures. What is this . Is it upside down . Is it upside down . Is that naga . That is a beautiful picture. Show your picture. Is that the right way round . Show your picture. Is that the right way round . So, there is my hair. What are the squiggly bits at the bottom . Is that the smile, yeah . And another one here. What is that . Me. I think you are an excellent dryer. Brilliant. He is full of beans. And this is the testament of the nhs team and we would not be here without them. I work for the nhs. If i could thank the team at kings couege i could thank the team at Kings College hospital, although the professors, but thank you to the kind family who donated because there son is with us, and look, his legacy lives on. Where is my pen . Where is it . You lost it . Do not say sorry, it is a joy in seeing qasim in the studio alive and well. Qasim, you were playing out later today, it will be a glorious day. There it is. Nick, tell us all about that. The pen is probably in the crack of the sofa. It is a stunning start to the sofa. It is a stunning start to the saturday, a short time ago in cumbria here. We are set fair across much of the uk, times are nicely for the start of the weekend, it has been a chilly start, close to freezing in aberdeenshire, but temperatures are going to head up with High Pressure in control. The weather system lurk into the south west, not a playerfor today, isa south west, not a playerfor today, is a fine day today. Some cloud around in Eastern England into Northern Ireland, northern scotland where there will be some showers moving through, especially as the afternoon, but for most it will stay dry, and where there is no cloud you will see some sunny spells, but the vast majority will see sunshine throughout the day. 22 degrees for cardiff and london. A very high pollen levels in england and wales. It is not plain sailing for everyone today. This evening, staying fine, overnight still some cloud in scotla nd overnight still some cloud in scotland to produce showers, breezes and start up in the far south west and start up in the far south west and temperatures are higher tomorrow up and temperatures are higher tomorrow up to 12 degrees. Part two of the weekend, things get a bit complicated, low pressure moving on from the south west, very slowly pushing the weather front closer as High Pressure retreats, we get the breeze picking up from the south east was start to the day tomorrow but cloud will increase, the breeze picks up, may be showers breaking out, may be thundery, but we are watching this area of arena turning thundery, the far south west, south west wales, some rain heading to Northern Ireland. It doesnt make much progress further east during the day, a bit cooler, north sea coast, 25 degrees possible. Then into sunday night into monday, met office a yellow warning for thunderstorms, rain for Northern Ireland, but it is particularly to england and wales and moving on to scotland that we will see the heavier falls of rain, 20 to 50 millimetres possible impacts of wales and england going through the night. Thundery bursts of rain, there will be some variety of rain, there will be some variety of rain, there will be some variety of rain totals, but the potential to see lots in some spots so a risk of flooding and then into scotland as we go into monday, central and eastern parts in particular may be up eastern parts in particular may be up to 100 millimetres over the highest ground. The potentialfor some flooding, disruption is yet another wet weather system pushes north westwards across the uk. It is far some looking quite stormy to start the new week, but there will also be sunshine around in places as well and settling down for mid week onwards and then the eat building. Some uncertainty on how hot it will get, but 31 celsius it is possible inafew get, but 31 celsius it is possible in a few spots, not all of us will see those temperatures, but it will get warmer and more humid and warm nights on the way as well. We will be waiting a while, but with the dams and heat on the way, looks like a proper british summer has finally arrived. Can you explain with your knowledge why we do see more intensive stance now . Well, there is the Climate Change and the Global Warming theory that goes into the fact that when it rains, the science suggests that it tends to rain a bit more, so when we get rain it can be heavier because the atmosphere is warmer because big the atmosphere is warmer because big the warm atmosphere can contain mark meister. More moisture. It is not unusual. There is thundery rain from the south and it can be very wet out of that so i am not saying this particular incident that is coming up with the rainfall would suggest that anything is particularly wet or wetter than normal, but the science suggests that over time, when we get rain fell, we could see more rain falling ina fell, we could see more rain falling in a short amount of time because of the atmosphere being prone to deliver that. I Love Learning new things from you quys i Love Learning new things from you guys with your meteorological hat on. Ican guys with your meteorological hat on. I can say it now. Thank you very much. We all need an inspirational story. Lets talk about Mavis Paterson. When Mavis Paterson lost her three grown up children within a few years of each other, she struggled to cope with what she describes as unimaginable grief. So the 81 year old decided to do something positive in their memory, taking on a difficult cycling challenge for charity. Today she could set a record as the oldest person to ride the 960 miles from lands end to john 0groats. Lets take a look at her journey so far. Weve had quite a tough day. We came over shap with a very, very heavy, strong headwind. At 11100 feet, i thought i might possibly die here because it was so difficult for us. Shes coming in. Were almost in bits. Mavis, just tell me how bad this is. This is. I was crying, i couldnt see because of the tears and the sweat. I was almost blind at one point. Ijust want to give up right now. I cant stand it. Im sorry, the last video showed me crying because i was really upset about the whole pouring rain, wind, cold, all my clothes were wet and i was just freezing. Here i am, with a cup of tea. Weve got tom now driving. Theres tom, hes made the tea when we stopped here just before pitlochry, the tea was ready, and here i am, a lot happier. And we can join mavis now. Have got a little sense of the journey you have been on. How are you feeling this morning . A bit apprehensive about the whole thing. We have only got 20 miles to get tojohn thing. We have only got 20 miles to get to john 0groats, thing. We have only got 20 miles to get tojohn 0groats, i am sitting in thurso, and i am going to be so glad the journey is over because it really has been so hard for me. I didnt realise it was going to be so difficult. Anyway, we hear with my friend, heather, who has been so supportive. She has been wonderful. She set up the whole thing was that i wouldnt be here if it wasnt for heather. She has been my rock. What has been your driver in that. We saw in the brief film the moments where you said, im in tears, ifeel like giving up and laying down. What has been the driver for you at those low moments . At points i thought, i really cant do this. And i was driven because i have this fire in my belly, ive got to go on, even though it was dreadful and i wanted to give up so many times. The rain was more or less almost every day. Some days you heard the noise of the rain battering down and it really was our fault, i hated it. Heather hated it too. We were both in tears. And it is so difficult to hear that rain and the campervan is so difficult to hear that rain and the camper van at night and know you have to get dressed in the morning and go out into the rain instead of the lovely sunny day like today, about the first day where we have felt it is summer. I am glad it is looking better for today. You talked about the fire in your belly and we mentioned before the loss of your three children, sandy, katie and bob, and i can only imagine what your emotions have been during this journey. Has this been helpful to you in some way . How has it been for you, the thought process as you are going through what is clearly a really difficult physical time, the emotions as well . Iam able. I time, the emotions as well . I am able. I will neverforget what happened, what has happened, but i can take my mind completely off the children because the company has been wonderful comedy support has been wonderful comedy support has been wonderful comedy support has been amazing and i can think of other things. But it is when i am alone i really become quite emotional about the loss of my children because i loved them so much and theyre not here. They will not be a john 0groats to welcome me. I have had such a lot of support and that has helped. It is therapeutic, really. It helps me so much. I am amazed at these apart make these the Committee People on the just giving make these the Committee People on thejust giving page. The make these the Committee People on the just giving page. The target was 20000 and now it is well over because jane of the Stranraer Committee said they raised £1600 so thatis Committee Said they raised £1600 so that is taken as over the 20,000. It is things like that that make me happy. Sometimes i used to think i will never be happy again, but on this journey i have laughed and i have been absolutely amazed at these apart. The support. Everyone is totally behind me, they have donated £10,000 and we cant thank them enough for these apart the support. I think support. Ithinki support. I think i can speak on behalf of anyone watching you this afternoon and we understand the grief you have been through and full of respect for what you are doing. I know a lot of people are physically going to be with you because you have lots of people who are going to be with you on this day, but i think a lot of people will be willing you are on this last alike. It is an amazing achievement. That is lovely to think that and we will be going over that line. We still have 20 miles to do, but we will be wearing our ineos shirts and we will be so happy to cross the lines. I dont think i could ever do this again and if i hold a record and someone wants to break it, then fine, i will never do it again. It has been so difficult. Mavis, good luck on the last dive of thejennifers mavis, good luck on the last dive of the jennifers that mavis, good luck on the last dive of thejennifers that i have every confidence it will be completed. Thank you for taking the time for us. Thank you. It will be very emotional when she crosses that line. Hats off to her. You sometimes have that thing where you speak to an older and their use these phrases carefully, mavis is 81 years old, to have done that journey, we wish her well. It is eight to 20 8am, we will look at the papers now. The writer paul vallely is here to tell us whats caught his eye. Wellspeakto him in a minute, there are reports that police were called to the london home of Boris Johnson and his partner Carrie Symonds in the early hours of friday morning after a neighbour reportedly heard a loud argument. The police said there was no cause for police action. A spokesman for mrjohnson has said no comment. So we will leave the front pages to the side for a second, and there was a major incident, International Incident this week involving donald trump and iran. And it has made us think a little bit. And there is a particularly good piece about it in the daily mail. What happened was the iranians shut down an american drone, an unmanned drone and President Trump decided he was going to retaliate and he did an airstrike. He was was going to retaliate and he did an air strike. He was he was ordered he ordered an air strike. In the final moment he changed his mind and pulled it back. What is interesting about the piece in the daily mail is it exposes what happened in the background in the white house and there are two camps, there is a hawkish group with john bolton and mike pompeo and they were like, lets bomb iran. And there was an equally right wing and entirely Different Group who say, dont get involved in anything. All American Foreign adventures and was have been a disaster, lets keep out of everything. Greenpeace protesters entered the room at mansion house, mark field, the mp, he has been suspended, i think, tackled this woman here and the pictures were recorded. There have been lots of people talking about this, about the rights and wrongs and how this has been received as a man grabbing a woman. You have picked up a thought piece in the guardian as well, by one of the commonest. Yes, what is interesting about it is she says that this is something which polarises the nation, men versus women, and various other kind of left versus right. What was interesting to me about it was it seems to be an incident on which People Project their prejudices, whichever side they are on, and im not going to take a side on this in talking about this because what she is saying is you can say it is male brute force versus female plucky resistant, we can see a man in emergency acting instinctively. What the leader says, the guardian leader says this is a metaphor for our times, the thuggish times. It seems to me significant because we arent very Polarised Society now with brexit and all of that, but we are also increasingly aggressive and this is like a symbol of that division and that aggression and thatis division and that aggression and that is why i thought it was worth reading. Without sounding flippant, seagulls can be aggressive as well. What is going on here . This is a couple who live near blackpool who have not been able to get out of the house because seagulls nested just above the front door and attacked them quite viciously every time they we nt them quite viciously every time they went out. They are besieged by the seagulls for six days. The local Radio Station came to the rescue by putting up a gazebo outside the garage, so they could go through the garage, so they could go through the garage and go out to gazebo without the bad. Go in the car and escape. Without the bad seeing them on foot. They do not have to go through the front door which is what they get attacked. If you remember the hitchcock film, birds, the final scene is that. If you remember the hitchcock film, birds, the final scene is thatm turns out that herring gulls are protected. If anyone has had the fish and chips stolen out of the wrapper at the seaside or whatever, what tickled me was the fact they had been rescued by a gazebo because terry eagleton, the great literary critic he was from salford, tells a great story about how when they were smartening up the park in salford, they said lets take it up market by getting a couple of placebos, how much are they going to cost . 0ne getting a couple of placebos, how much are they going to cost . One of the council said it is all very well getting these gazebos, but i want to know who is going to feed them. We will be back in the next hour. The headlines are coming up. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. Lots coming up on the programme this morning. We will have the whether with nick in the sport with mike. Here are this mornings main stories.

Still away to go, the cat is very much among the pigeons now, according to him michael vaughan. The defeat to schalke means the host are under huge pressure. The defeat to sri lanka. Andy swiss was watching. Sunny skies, an in form england, against a struggling sri lankan team. What could possibly go wrong . Well, not much at first, as englands bowlers seemingly set them on course for victory. It all seemed so easy. 0ut, good catch. The catches stuck, the wickets tumbled, and sri lankas total of 232 seemed substandard. But sri lanka have lasith malinga, the slinger as hes known, and he slung his side back into contention. His remarkable action cutting through the england batting. Huge shout, the finger goes up by the time jofra archer became the ninth man out, england still needed nearly 50 runs. It seemed all over. But then a late twist. Ben stokes with a barrage of sixes. Single handedly he clobbered england in sight of their target. Withjust 21 runs needed, though, mark wood edged. What a win for sri lanka and sri lanka erupted. The shock of the world cup so far. England can still make the semifinals but theirjourney may have just got a whole lot harder. Andy swiss, bbc news. You look at the basics of a run chase, partnerships are very important. We struggle to get enough partnerships going. There are individual innings but thats not enough to win a game. We get beaten, we tend to come quite strong. We tend to resort to being aggressive, smart, so we hope thats the case on tuesday. Englands women have taken a 1 0 lead in their twenty20 series against the west indies. Batting first, england set their opponents 181 to win. And the west indies fell 43 runs short ending on 138 9.

When you, the group stages and a major tournament, that is when you got to start enjoying it even more. And start focusing that it is all about winning. Its all gone horribly wrong for englands promising under 21 team, remember some of these players were World Champions at under 17 level. And had high hopes, but a crazy six goals towards the end in italy last night, meant they lost 11 2 to romania, and so theyre out of the european championships, with a game still to play.

I can tell you all about that at 9 30am. Womens woke up, one of the talking points is about behaviour. We got used to the people going up to the referees, giving them a hard time, my impression having seen a bit of it, there is a lot less of that and im thinking of the queenss tennis player who has got a huge fine, that thing of how sportspeople are with whoever is in charge, it is quite interesting. Nick curious was fine, he swore at the umpire again and he has a history of this. He threw his racket, not just into history of this. He threw his racket, notjust into the crowd, out of the court. It went quite far. A long throw. Hes had a go himself. He questioned the empires, he is crashing himself, he is angry with himself because he stayed up playing fifa till three oclock in the morning. You did the story the story we did earlier that lawn bowls, they have sent warnings about behaviour. Across all sports. In the south west, yes. Across all sports. In the southwest, yes.

Temperatures of very manageable, comfort zone into the high teens and late 20s, just a light breeze. It will fall on a mac feel warmer, high pollen levels across england and wales. High pressure in control for now, low weather fronts, that is for the second half of the weekend. Sunday night into monday where some of us will see some heavy, thundery rain, we will look at that in a moment. But to celebrate what saturday has in store, some cloud across eastern parts of england, not out the question, an isolated shower here this afternoon. Some cloud in Northern Ireland, breaking up a little bit. Some cloud in northern scotland, producing some showers. Elsewhere, plenty of sunshine. 22 celsius in cardiff and london, all of that feeling very pleasant indeed. A fine evening, may be a barbecue. Tonight, patchy cloud floating around, still a few shows in northern scotland, some fabrics of rain coming towards the isles of scilly and, although from that weather system i showed you a second ago, around 8 12 celsius. Low pressure is getting closer tomorrow, this is starting to bring some outbreaks of rain toward some of us, and very slow process tomorrow. High pressure clinging on elsewhere, alistair start the day with a lot sunshine. It will turn out to be breezy. Cloud will start to build after the sunny start. Itjust sticks around here for a large part of the day, not yet on the move, a little bit cooler, not the case, warmer, more humid south east eglin, 24, 20 warmer, more humid south east eglin, 2a, 20 five celsius.

The higher amount will be on Higher Ground if it comes off, but all of that does mean further flooding disruption it comes off, but all of that does mean furtherflooding disruption in some spots, the worst affected areas from these thundery downpours. Just letting know as you we go into monday, they could be some disruption from the store across england and wales, although one next week, temperatures heading up.

There is some wantonly way, heat and humidity, remember those thunderstorms at the start of the week that could cause some problems. There is someone on the way. The time is 8118 am. A Record Number of complaints are being made about finance used to buy cars according to the industry watchdog. The financial 0mbudsman service says grievances include firms not checking customers can afford payments before lending the money. Paul lewis has been looking into this. Morning, paul. There is a lot of money involved. How much do we borrow . Nearly £46 billion that we borrow to buy cars. If you look at the cars that were sold brand new, 91 of those were sold on credit. It is a very large business, smaller than credit cloud, smaller than mortgages but a very big business indeed, yes. In terms of the issues people are facing, what are the most common problems with my the Financial Conduct Authority is concerned, in fa ct conduct authority is concerned, in fact it is so concerned about how affordability is estimated, you are sitting that there is a nice car, you want it, the salesperson wants to sell it, they want to sell you finance because they get commission on both parts of the deal, the fear is that affordability is not being looked out. The regulator was so well at last year, introduce new rules and it reminded dealers that they should make sure that those rules were being followed and they should look at their cases. We talk to one very worried mother who is 21, 22 year old student daughter who had gone on to get a runabout, to get her to college, she came out with a 13 point 13,500 second hand algae, it was going to cost a three inch and £20 a month, she could not afford it. The mother thinks they should have checked affordability, even though her daughter works part time, they should have checked and he cans to make sure she could afford it. None mother has had to pay some of this, it has caused some disruption in the family. It is that kind of sale that regulators are worried about. They look at them for guidance, what are they saying . Regulators say, as i said, affordability should be checked. They are concerns about the level of commission that are being and, adding 1000 fans to the price of a car, remember that when you are offered a discount. They are concerned, they are leaving it to the dealers to sort it out. I suppose some people listen, there are two sides of the story, people wa nt are two sides of the story, people want the cars, they go into the arrangements, it is about choice, what about the finance industry . Where does the responsibility lie for all this . The finance agency ta kes a for all this . The finance agency takes a different line, the finance Leasing Association he represents people who sell this credit, they say the figures by the ombudsman which showed that complaints have trebled in three years, it says that those figures are very small compared to the total number of deals done and that is true, less than one in 1000. They also say that the complaints by the regulator and the complaints by the regulator and the Financial Conduct Authority are based on data and information that was gathering in the past, of course it always is, in the past before the new rules and they are convinced that the new rules are being followed and that sales are being done properly now. And i must say, money boxes interested in the story to follow up and if anyone has got experience, good or bad of theirs, they should e mail us if they wait, andi they should e mail us if they wait, and i tweeted about this this morning, and ive had a big response already. I think that is a lot of concern out there. Iam sure concern out there. I am sure that is true, youre absolutely right, it affects a lot of people. If you have got issues you would like to take up with paul, he is the man to to. More at midday on radio four. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission still finds on average the remains of 40 servicemen and women every year, and makes painstaking efforts to trace their relatives. Now their work, which includes finding, reburying and honouring the people who died in the two world wars, will be highlighted at a new visitor attraction in northern france. To tell us more were joined by dr lucy kellett from the organisation and sophiejones whos great grandfather was buried with full military honours just days ago thanks to their work. Good morning to you. We will find out more about the centre, sophie, please tell us about your great grandfather. Please tell us about your greatgrandfather. My great grandfather was born in the late 18005, grandfather was born in the late 1800s, he fought in the boer war, and then rejoin his regiment which was the welsh fusiliers to ship of a 1914 to fight in the first world war. Within six days of arriving, he had been hit by a shell and that was the end of his story. Unbeknownst to us, he had been parried as an unknown soldier. Did you know anything about his story . M unknown soldier. Did you know anything about his story . It was not spoken about in the family particularly. We knew that he had died when my grandfather was five, so that was heartbreaking. Perhaps why it was never spoken of. When we received a letter two months ago saying, only two months ago, saying there will be a rededication on the 19th ofjune at tpm, are you coming . At 19th ofjune at tpm, are you coming . At tpm. It 19th ofjune at tpm, are you coming . At tpm. It opened the floodgates on this emotion, his whole story to us on this emotion, his whole story to us which has been amazing. Why did this happen now . That particular date, that time, what was that . A lot of online research, Amazing Research is doing it on their own time, they were tuning into our great grandfather, and they hit, bringing all his details together, around about the same time. There is no dna involved, this was to do with the fact that he had fulton the lower wall and then decorated, he was a dso, the boer war. He had colours on his jacket thats right with his remains. That was confirmed by the mod. We received the letter, and it was a process of elimination which is why it was a surprise to us, because we had not been involved at all. M it was a surprise to us, because we had not been involved at all. It is an extraordinary process. On the one hand,it an extraordinary process. On the one hand, it is a technical process, but as we had a moment ago, it is really emotional, even after all these yea rs emotional, even after all these years that passed, Unfinished Business anyway. Such a privilege for us at the commission to be able to reunite a person with that name, thatis to reunite a person with that name, that is what we were set up to do, to ensure that the names of everyone who died in the two world wars were honoured in perpetuity. I think think that process coming to fruition as a result of lots of complex hardware, we have teams that go out and recover bodies in france, we bring them back to the place where a Visitor Centre actually is and we have a special much either where we examine those remains. Over time, things are appearing, and they are found. Even now. Particularly as land is built on in the former battlefields of northern france, often recoveries are made. We had a large spiking cases last year with several building projects happening. But we do then is examine the remains wee fine and also any objects that are with them all on them because those are the crucial elements. The crucial elements that help us narrow down casualtys potential identity. We have researchers that cross examine all that examination on the casualty with military records, lots of extensive documents about he was fighting ina extensive documents about he was fighting in a certain area, tyne, check that against the list of the missing. The 150,000 people who are still unaccounted for in france and belgium. Around 40 remains discovered each year, it shows it is such a small number when you think how many have not been. You have to be so careful with that information is given to families. Exactly, that hope process can take up to two years or more to go from recovery to reburial. You said your great grandfather was buried as an unknown soldier, what has happened since . I drove to belgium on wednesday for the dedication ceremony, and one of three researchers was young lad, 18 year old student who has just finished his exam, with their wet their entire family. It was so important to him. It was an amazing emotion that it was the local people involved, us discovering our local grandfather, putting his name to his grave and there were members of the royal welsh the with a bugle player and the chaplain that the service and the chaplain that the service and this was the honour with which he needed to be beside at the time, and it has come good now. |j he needed to be beside at the time, and it has come good now. I am mindful, i dont know if you saw earlier, we were talking to mavis, who is finishing this lands earlier, we were talking to mavis, who is finishing this lands end to john a great cycling trip today, amazing journey, she is doing it because she lost her three children and she was talking about grief and the way people deal with it. I am very interested, time passes, a long time ago since your great grandfather died, it is such an important thing, you mentioned how it has come back to you. Grief weight sometimes. Importantly, i did not know my great grandfather, the grief i feel is for his son, his grandfather, i did know and love dearly. My father who are sadly no longer with us with a really felt that line stretching back. In they missed out, they missed out on the knowledge that you now have two bit something place. We are the guardians of that now and these lovely people in belgium and all the bystanders, sharing that thought on that honour which is important for all these unknown soldiers. Absolutely.
