A hollywood ending, watched by their hollywood fan. The twin who saved her sister from a crocodile is recognised by the king for her bravery. Good morning. A band of rain is slowly moving northward and eastward today. North east of Scotland Driest and warmest. The south west, sunny spells with scattered showers. I will have all the details later in the programme. Its tuesday 14th may. Our main story. A new study has found that anti obesity injections could reduce the risk of Heart Attacks and stroke, regardless of how much weight people lose. Researchers from University College london have described their results as a major breakthrough, and they say it could be similar to the introduction of statins in the 1990s. Chi chi izundu reports. Obesity is considered a growing Health Problem in the uk, because alongside it can come other health complications. And one treatment a Weight Loss Drug offered on the nhs only from last year could help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. A new study in part paid for by the company which makes one of the drugs, ozempic is suggesting that the medication could cut the risk of Heart Attacks and stroke. Scientists followed more than 17,500 people from 41 countries with an average age of 62. All were either overweight or obese, didnt have type two diabetes, but did have a history of cardiovascular problems. Half were given a dose of the drug, the other half a placebo. The report suggests that anti obesity medications such as ozempic and wegovy appear to cut the risk of Heart Attacks and strokes, regardless of how much weight people lose. Whilst this study still has to be fully reviewed, experts are describing its findings as a game changer, and could potentially change clinical practice like other drugs taken to help cardiovascular conditions. I think its a really important discovery, and its an important change because its the sort of thing we got with statins. When we in the � 90s, when statins came in, we finally figured out that there was a drug class that would change the biology of this disease to benefit a lot of people. Ozempic was originally used to help type two diabetes sufferers, but demand for it has seen shortages in recent months, leaving patients struggling to get their prescriptions. Why these drugs are potentially helping fight things like Heart Disease is not yet fully known. Scientists think it could be related to inflammation. And there are other Chronic Diseases they also think this drug could help. Chi chi izundu, bbc news. We will be talking to the author of that report later in the programme. But nowjon has more of the days news. Thanks, sally. As ukraine struggles to hold back a major Russian Incursion near its second largest city, the us Secretary Of State has arrived in the country to show americas continuing support. A new front has opened up near kharkiv, and ukraine has admitted that Russian Forces are starting to surround the border town of vovchans� k, with local Officials Saying the fighting has been heavy. Americas top diplomat is expected to meet president Volodymyr Zelensky and other officials. Heres our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse. Shouting. These communities are used to russia being close but not this close. Forfour days, bombs have rained down here, and the window to leave is shrinking. Thousands have been forced to escape and counting. Keep talking to us, says this Police Officer to 71 year old olga. The newly homeless end up here in ukraines second city, kharkiv. People are terrified. They are stressed. They take. They keep their animals with them. So everyone is in a huge stress because of the constant shelling and of the shock of the russian offensive. Volodymyr said he went to feed his animals, when he encountered Machine Gunfire in all directions. For now, kharkiv city is a place of relative safety but for how long . While few think the russians are capable of taking it, they could soon be in artillery range. Translation our task is Crystal Clear to stop russias attempt to expand the war. The fulfilment of this task depends on everyone who is on the ground. Missiles routinely hit kharkiv. If this offensive isnt contained, the destruction will be even greater.

Antony blinken arrived in kyiv around dawn this i arrived in kyiv around dawn this morning after a nine hour train journey from the polish border. It is his fourth visit to the country and he is there to provide reassurance, if you like that the us still has the countrys back despite a long delay in the granting of the latest package of military aid from the us, thought to be worth about 60 billion in total. Political paralysis and the biden administrations increasing the occupation with the conflict in the middle east have contributed to more than a years worth of political paralysis in that regard, and russia of course has sought to capitalise on that, most recently in the North Eastern city, as we were hearing, of kharkiv. Us officials have said that they are under incredible pressure as far as the ukrainians are concerned, and over the weekend Antony Blinken himself said the delay in the provision of this latest round of us military aid had caused problems, as he put it, and he said this was a challenging moment for ukraine. He is due to meet with the Ukrainian President , Volodymyr Zelensky, later today, and to deliver a speech, the main hope of the us as one official put it is that the ukrainians can take back the initiative they have lost on the battlefield. ,. ,. , the initiative they have lost on the battlefield. ,. , battlefield. 0k, david, for now, thank yom a labour party backed report has recommended capping the amount rents can be raised for existing private tenants in england and wales.

Rock band elbow will be the opening act, as our Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson reports. Music one day like this by elbow. Co op live are hoping its fourth time lucky, as once again it tries to open tonight exactly three weeks to the day after peter kay was supposed to be the first act to play the biggest indoor arena in the uk. The venue has been beset by power, communication, and Air Conditioning problems which have led to cancellations, postponements and changes of location. Today this could be the greatest day of our lives. Take that moved their five night residency across the city to the ao arena co op lives direct rival. Coca cola bottles that i only use to curl my hair. While Olivia Rodrigo is still trying to reschedule the two dates she was forced to cancel. Manchesters Business Community says there simply cannot be any more delays. This has to work for manchester from now on. Why . This is a 300 plus million investment, right . So when it happened, it was a vote of confidence for manchester. And we do not want anything that damages manchesters reputation as a destination for business, as a destination for investment. Which is why we have got to get this right. In this world, itsjust us. Sing co op live is all funded by private finance, with investors including harry styles who recorded a message of support before the problems were all known about. Im incredibly proud to be a part of co op live, one of the largest and most sustainable arenas in europe.

I think the people at co op live have theirfingers, toes think the people at co op live have their fingers, toes and anything else they can cross, praying that this will actually go ahead this time. The venue has been really beset with problems before the official launch. The test event that was due to be held here with rick astley, they had to cut the number of Tickets Available for that at last minute because the venue was not ready. We then had peter kays gets cancelled twice, and the resignation of the General Manager over the problems, and then about a week ago the venue was due to open with a gig by the us rapper a boogie wit da hoodie, and that was literally cancelled minutes before the doors were due to open, thousands of fans waiting to get in. I was at piccadilly Train Station as the news came through and you had hundreds of people turning up their it had been expecting to go to a gig and had none to go to. That was caused by a problem with the heating and Air Conditioning system, and the venue say they are confident those problems have been ironed out and with the elbow gig this morning going ahead. As you can probably see, it is rather typical manchester weather here. If the cameraman pulls back you will see the giant umbrella keeping me dry at the moment. Im glad to say that the Weather Forecast says it is due to get brighter and lighter later on today and i think the owners of co op live hope that will be a matter for how the rest and ottawan for the how the rest and ottawan for the how the rest and ottawan for the how the rest of today pans out.

That is what rowan are suggesting the weather what rowan are suggesting the weather will be like today and i am sure he weather will be like today and i am sure he is weather will be like today and i am sure he is right but letsjust make sure good morning. He is right. It is pouring buckets at the moment but the rain will slowly move northwards and eastwards. Quite a murky start to the day, as well, a lot of low cloud, that mist and fog and also very mild start. Most starting in double figures. Some of us seeing some rain, spells of warm sunshine, also some showers coming behind. This is the rain that rowan is under at the moment, pushing northward and eastwards, is behind it we have a lot of show is packing in across the south west. Through the day, this rain slowly moves northwards and eastwards, turns a bit more patchy at times, you can see It Brightening around the manchester area. Far north of scotland hanging onto a Bit Of Cloud At Times but here there will also be sunny spells, and behind this band of rain, moving out of Northern Ireland and also north west england, we are looking at a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers, but quite blustery today, especially In The South West. These are our temperatures, 12 to 21 but we could reach 22, possibly higher around the moray firth and the inverness area. On the noisy coastline it will be a bit cooler. As we head through the evening and overnight period, once again we follow the track at this Rain Pushing Northwards and eastwards, it weakens for a time but then starts to rejuvenate by the end of the night, bringing in some heavy rain across the far south east. There will be clear spells, also a fair bit of cloud, and low cloud, mist and murk coming in from the north Sea Coastline along the east coast. These are our temperatures, it will not be a cold night. Tomorrow we start off with this low cloud, mist and murk, and also the reigning eastern areas. To the west, something brighter with a few showers, but through the day you will find some of this low Cloud Will Drift further inland across eastern areas. Temperatures tomorrow once again, the north of scotland likely to see the highest levels, particularly the north west, where we could see about 23, possibly a bit more, but again cooler along the Sea Coastline. Thank you. We will see you again later, carol. Its one of the most contentious issues facing our society should someone with a terminal illness be allowed to end their own life . Later today, the isle of man could take a step closer to becoming the first place in the British Isles to legalise assisted dying. Our medical editor fergus walsh has been to meet people on both sides of the debate. The isle of man has a Population Ofjust 85,000, the same as grimsby. But for over a thousand years it has set its own laws and is about to vote on one of the most contentious issues facing society. These two campaigners want to see assisted dying introduced on the island. Simon was kept alive way too long, in way too much pain. He had no dignity whatsoever, no quality of life. Sue biggerstaff is haunted by the memory of her husbands agonising death from motor neurone disease. The doctor, everybody was wonderful. But the fact is, simon had intravenous morphine in both legs and both arms, and patches. And still he was in pain. She says simons final months were torture paralysed from the neck down, his muscles wasting with open wounds that would not heal. How can anybody want to be alive when theyre decomposing . I mean, its sick. Its sick. Ella, god love her, if i had her here now paralysed from the neck down, incontinent and her body decaying, and i didnt do anything, id be locked up. So should the terminally ill have a right to die . That is what the Manx Parliament tynwald is set to decide. This is the chamber of the House Of Keys, equivalent to the House Of Commons at westminster, where members will vote on a bill which could see the isle of man become the first part of the British Isles to legalise assisted dying. Claire barbour, a member of the House Of Keys, is a former Intensive Care Nurse who says at present some are denied a good death. Ive come across people who have openly expressed a will for assisted dying because theyre suffering, but theyre not allowed to. So we allow and encourage, we empower people to make decisions about their health care all the way through their life. But when it comes to making those decisions around a good death, we take the ultimate decision away from them. But those against say legalising assisted dying would set a dangerous precedent. Bill leishman, a baptist minister, says Christian Churches on the island are united in their opposition. My big concern for this bill is for Vulnerable People, l for people who dont have much agency for themselves, and the the effect that it could have, the dangers of coercion, the dangers of unintended l consequences, the dangers for people who feel suicidal. These are the people that i would be most concerned for. If assisted dying came in, it would really challenge me emotionally. All the islands doctors, like duncan gerry, qualify overseas. He says many like him will consider leaving if assisted dying is introduced. Im very concerned that assisted dying is a Slippery Slope that you start on. When you allow people to be killed by their doctor, to assist to die by their doctor, it begins a journey that doesnt stop and Vulnerable People start out with an offer, becomes a suggestion, becomes an obligation to die. And i worry that Vulnerable People will be sucked into a law to help a very, very small number of people. If the bill is approved, it could become law next year, with the first assisted death in 2027. Although theres now a proposal for the whole issue to be put to a referendum, giving the public not politicians the final word. Fergus walsh, bbc news, on the isle of man. Later we will go to the island and speak to fergus, who will be joined by campaigners and politicians from both sides. Lets take a look at todays papers. The main story on the front of the daily mail is our lead story today, too it centres on a top cardiologist who says millions of brits should be prescribed Weight Loss Jabs in order to cut the risks of having Heart Attacks or stroke. The express also features the weight loss story, according to the paper the slimming jab can help people shed a quarter of their body weight, making it the most effective yet. The guardian has an exclusive story on a report which recommends what it calls a double lock for tenants renewing their tenancies. The paper says the reports findings Heap Pressure on sir keir starmer to do more for renters, after the Labour Leader promised to tackle englands Housing Crisis if elected Prime Minister. And the metro reports on the king officially handing over the role of Colonel In Chief of the Army Air Corps to the prince of wales. The paper says that, during the official visit, the king revealed one of the effects of his Cancer Treatment to a veteran who had undergone chemotherapy. I lost my Sense Of Taste is the headline there. Inside the papers there is a story that has caught my eye about Manchester United, who are going to go and play at wembley for the fa cup final and the announcement that if you are a member of family for a player you will not get your transport paid for to that final, which is a new thing and it is a cost saving thing by surgeon ratcliffe who, as we know, is a very canny businessman and trying to save money. I will check the numbers. According to deloitte, cameco united pulled on revenue of £640 million last year, but they do actually have a debt which is around, it is a credit like facility, of £710 million and they also have a leaky stadium so maybe he will try to fix the roof. � , stadium so maybe he will try to fix the roof. � , ,. , the roof.

She said, my god, it must be a pretty long Trigger Warning before king lear and she says she doesnt think people need them. She says, if you are sensitive and worry about these things, dont go to the theatre, dont watch a play. Sir ian mckellen made a similar response recently ahead of macbeth.

Georgia and Melissa Laurie were on a holiday in mexico when their trip of a lifetime became the stuff of nightmares as our reporter abi smitton explains. Their family would describe twins georgia and melissa as keen and adventurous travellers. Back in 2021, they took the trip of a lifetime to mexico, sightseeing and volunteering. With a group of friends, they signed up for a Riverboat Tour of the picturesque manialtepec lagoon. They were told it was safe to swim in the water. Within minutes, though, melissa was dragged under by a crocodile. I actually heard her scream and i saw her being taken underneath and by the crocodile. And then i realised she was really in trouble. It was georgia who saved her life, leaping into action. It grabbed her on the leg and her behind and tried to death roll her and drag her away. So i was beating it on its snout and it grabbed my wrist and my arm. So i had to beat it off with the other with my other arm. Both twins were rushed to hospital. Melissa was left with life threatening injuries. She contracted sepsis and was placed into an induced coma. It was touch and go for a while, but a few days later, georgia shared this positive update. They took the tube out of her. Shes been breathing on her own very well. But she cant talk because of the soreness in her throat from the tube. She recognised me, knew who i was, seemed happy to see me. Over the past three years, the twins have tried to put the ordeal behind them, but georgias bravery is still being remembered and celebrated shes now been awarded a kings gallantry medal for her life saving efforts to protect her sister. Abi smitton, bbc news. That is an amazing story. Incredible. And georgia and melissa will be joining us on the sofa at 8 10. They will talk in more detail about what they went through.

Broadmead road bridge has been shut for nine months causing delays and disruption to drivers with little sign of it re opening. The government says the bridge is the councils responsibility. Some positives in the sense theres less traffic, which is quite nice, but it has a massive impact on deliveries, people travelling, people getting across different parts of the area. What about the older elderly people who like to go to sainsburys . You know, they live down there and they need to go to sainsburys. Its not, its not right.

A more unsettled spell of weather over the next few days. This morning, a wet start. There will be some outbreaks of heavy rain for a time, gradually clearing to the north east, becoming drier, but staying rather cloudy. And you can see the rain this morning. One or two heavy bursts for a time. Quite a misty, murky start, as well. That Rain Clearing to the north east for most. By the afternoon there may be some spells of brightness developing across the west and temperatures around 16 18 celsius. A dry start to the evening initially, with some clear spells. More in the way of cloud by the early hours. A bit of mist once more and some showers developing by the end of the night. Temperatures around 11 12 degrees. And over the next few days, well continue to have low pressure nearby, and circulating around this area of low pressure, showers, and some of these showers potentially could be heavy at times, possibly thundery, especially on thursday. There will be some sunny spells in between, though. Temperatures generally reaching the high teens over the next few days but, by the weekend, back up to the low 20s. And thats your forecast. Ill be back in half an hour with another update. Bye for now. Hello, this is Breakfast Withjon Kay and sally nugent. Last month we heard a Record Number of people were out of work due to long term sickness, and later this morning well hear whether that trend has continued. Bens been taking a look for us. The Prime Minister said last month he wants to strip gps of the power to sign people off work, to tackle what he called the uks Sick Note Culture but how big a problem is it . Good morning. Were taking a look at the number of people who are not working because of long term sickness. Around a quarter of people aged 16 to 64 are not working at the moment. Some will be trying to get a job. But the vast majority nearly nine and a half million are known as economically inactive meaning theyre not looking for work. That could be because theyve taken early retirement, theyre studying full time or perhaps caring for family members. But it can also be down to long term sickness and thats a particular problem. Figures published last month showed that more than 2. 8 Million People were not working because of Long Term Health conditions between december and february. Thats the highest its ever been. This morning well get the latest figures and find out if thats changed. But to put things in perspective, look at the same period four years ago, just before the pandemic. Back then, around 2. 1 Million People were not working because of health conditions. That figure has been slowly rising over the last few years. The government says that stricter fit to work tests would get around 200,000 people back into work. And it also plans to reform fit notes and remove gps power to sign people off work has been pretty unpopular with both Disability Charities and opposition parties. There is a call for evidence over that proposal at the moment. But what about fixing the root cause behind those Sickness Levels . Our Chief Economics correspondent Dharshini David has been to Jaguar Land Rover to see how one of the uks biggest Car Manufacturers helps its staff to stay healthy at work. The smallest details matter atjlrs test centre near coventry. And notjust for its cars. Across the site, this centre aims at stopping injuries and illnesses in their tracks. Youre going to drive your knee to your chest and youre going to come into a crunch. A weekly fitness class led ange to treatment for an earlier ankle problem. Thats made a massive difference, actually, to how i can walk, how i can run on it whereas previously i was having a lot of issues sometimes doing that. While michael hopes to avoid disruptive surgery on his achilles tendon. I went along to my gp he said theyve got a very good rehabilitation centre, and that and you should speak to them, and theyll sort you out some physio before we go down the operation route. Jlr has several centres set up by its Chief Medical Officer to complement the nhs. We cover a whole range of conditions. We do have physiotherapists, and theyre very traditional. We also have Mental Health practitioners, so they will look after people for their Mental Health then we have our physiologists offering a whole range of programmes including nutrition advice, including sleep advice, including trying to get people fitter. The state spends tens of billions of pounds on benefits linked to illness. Of those assessed, almost half had the likes of Bad Backs Orjoint issues, musculoskeletal problems. Only Mental Health disorders were mentioned by more. When youre aiming to build the leading vehicles of the future, having a workforce thats fighting fit makes commercial sense and not just here. Because the uk is the only major economy with fewer people in employment than prior to the pandemic because of our problem with long term sickness. Now the governments measures including Welfare Reform and also more Occupational Health support should help milder cases, but how do we stop this chronic issue ballooning . Medical experts say intervention from an Overstretched Nhs can come too late. Half of those not working due to illness have been signed off for more than three years. More schemes like this may be needed to keep us on the road. Dharshini david, bbc news. Really interesting to see there. The government told us the uks Inactivity Rate is below the average of the g7 group of rich countries and the eu. It said it was enhancing support for people with disabilities and Long Term Health conditions and that over a Million People will be helped by its £2. 5 billion back to work plan. We will get the latest figures on jobs and wages a little later this morning. Thank you. Johns here with the sport. A little bit of Hollywood Sparkle Last Night . Yes, did you know tom hanks, the a list, hollywood actor is a fan of aston villa are not only that he was watching them last night. There he was at villa park. Who knew . Why is tom hanks an aston villa fan . Apparently he was filming in the uk, he woke up in a london hotel one morning, was a little bit jet lagged, turned on the bbc can watch the Football Results coming in and thought aston villa sounded like and thought aston villa sounded like a nice place. I think he liked the idea of a villa. Like a place would go on holiday. He thought aston was a nice port or something about how we settled upon his team. Its not that sort of a villa, tom. It is in birmingham, exactly, which is where he was last night so good for him. He might be watching now. Good morning. I guess he thinks with a season being as exciting as its been he wanted a piece of the pie last night. He certainly picked the right again. 3 3 with aston villa coming from behind to draw. Morning. I guess like any good movie, you dont want to miss the action. As superfan tom hanks pitched up in birmingham to watch their final home game. Perhaps the pressure of a Hollywood A Lister Got To Villa Goalkeeper emi martinez, allowing liverpool to score. Liverpool were 3 1 up, Butjohn Duran pulled one back six minutes from time before scoing again three minutes later. Duran. Duran. Yes, very nice. Rescuing a draw. Drama at the end. The sort of script hed be proud of. And he had special message to the fans before the game. Hello, birmingham. Tom hanks here, celebrating the penultimate match here in villa park, looking forward to promote good news on the horizon, lets hope so, up the forever villa. Does that Sound Convincing . I said he was a super fan so there you go. And he might want to stick around. Manchester city know a Win Agaisnt Tottenham Tonight will keep matters in their hands with one game to go. And the weird scenario that some Tottenham Supporters would rather lose the game later, so as not to hand an advantage to rivals arsenal in the title race. And that point was put to the tottenham manager. Reporter a proportion of your fans wont want you to win this game. How do you feel about that and the potential atmosphere it might create . A proportion of our fans . What does that mean . What proportion . Difficult to say. Really . What, 50 . 20 . 1 . Just give me a rough estimate in your mind. I dont know. You dont know . 0k. So lets answer a question we dont know the answer to. Know what real success looks like. Real success looks like trophies. Anything else in between, bragging rights, whatever it is, is absolutely meaningless. If the Tottenham Supporters are thinking their site over against Manchester City they have got another thing coming. Meanwhile, rangers play dundee tonight in the Scottish Premiership knowing they must win, or the title is celtic� s. In the womens super league, arsenals Star Striker Vivienne Miedama Has announced she will be leaving the club at the end of the season. Shes been with arsenal for seven years, winning the wsl title five years ago. Twice a golden boot winner, we understand arsenal have made the decision not to renew miedemas contract. Some brilliant goals, though, in her career. And finally its Notjust Thrilling in the premier league. There is a certain fight this weekend, a rumble in the ring. And theres been an explosive start to fight week in saudi arabia ahead of the undisputed World Heavyweight Clash between tyson fury and oleksandr usyk. Fury� s dad john was seen with blood coming from a head injury after he clashed with a member of usyk� s team before security stepped in to stop any further confrontation. The incident took place at a hotel where mondays Media Activity was taking place. Fury holds one belt, usyk holds three, the fight at the kingdom arena will see the winner become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four belt era. And clearly, days out from the fight, the emotions are running high. Might need to keep a lid on that. It all looked a little bit nasty. The fighting is already started. It does feel like that. You hope they can keep a lid on that. John, thank you. Lets return to our main story a study has found that medications used to treat obesity, can also lower the risk of Heart Attacks and stroke. Scientists believe it may be a breakthrough comparable to the use of statins against cholesterol. We can speak now to Professorjohn Deanfield from University College london. Hes a Government Health advisor and is leading the research. Good morning to you, professor, thank you forjoining us.

The research we have now reported shows that that improvement and outcome wasnt just confined that that improvement and outcome wasntjust confined to the people who had the most weight in this study, all the patients benefited whether they were male, female, young or old or very overweight or mildly overweight but also the benefit that they had in the trial from the cardiovascular outcome was not dependent on the amount of weight they lost suggesting, as you say, that this may be an independent benefit on the underlying condition rather than just the result of weight loss.

He has been travelling in order to talk about the results of his findings basically and how important they might be. Important here in the uk, the Health Service potentially, but also globally because there are countries All Around The World following this research with interest. Theres nothing worst than opening your windows on a hot day and then having to immediately close them when theres a bad smell outside. Now imagine having to live with that for months. Thats been the situation for residents living near a Landfill Site in pembrokeshire, who say the foul odour has become unbearable, as our wales correspondent Hywel Griffith reports. Chanting stop the stink stop the stink they call it the stink bomb on steroids. A foul odour which, since last autumn, has really been getting up the noses of people in pembrokeshire. Some are worried about the impact on their families. Gives you a headache. It really makes you nauseous. Its gassy. When its at its worst, its very oppressive. You can almost taste it. Its that bad. This is whats at the centre of the row the withyhedge Landfill Site. Its been here for decades, but it was only last autumn that problems began. This is what it looked like in december. Since then, the authorities have been in to try and ensure emissions are reduced. A target date in april came and went. Some arent convinced todays latest deadline will make any difference. This stinkjust isnt going to be stopped. The deadline will come and go and we will have to move to a next level of action because the authorities dont seem to be maintaining our human right to breathe fresh air. The smell can carry for miles. But whats happened here has also caused a bit of a stink far further afield. The landfill is linked to a company which donated £200,000 to vaughan gething, the new First Minister of wales, as he was running to be the leader of welsh labour. Today we turn a page in the book of our nations history. Its two months since he won the race, but the questions have continued. Mr gething has repeatedly said no rules were broken. Hes accepted the donations caused concern and anxiety, but didnt want to talk to us about the issue. His political opponents say hes been found wanting. It doesnt really show that the First Minister has got a good grasp of good political judgment and that brings into question then other decisions j that he will have to make as first| minister. And weve been quite clear as a party and locally that we want this stench to end at withyhedge, we want this stench to end in welsh politics. And i think the First Minister has got some serious questions to answer. Back in pembrokeshire, the Landfill Company says its on track to end the odour and will stop putting in more waste from tomorrow. Whether thats enough to stop the stink is a question that hangs in the air. Hywel griffiths, bbc news, pembrokeshire. I think the sign says it all. Lets find out which way the wind is Blowing Today and join carol. Good morning. Blowing today and oin carol. Good morninu. M,. , Blowing Today and oin carol. Good mornin ,. ,. ,. , Blowing Today and oin carol. Good morninu. , � ,. , morning. Good morning, its quite a blustery day morning. Good morning, its quite a blustery day today morning. Good morning, its quite a blustery day today actually, morning. Good morning, its quite a blustery day today actually, joking l blustery day today actually, joking aside, but its also a mild one, ill start to the day. These are the temperatures if you are just stepping out in aberporth in wales, 10 degrees. North of scotland, 13, and in london, already 15. Its going to be warm today for many parts away from the north sea coast. What is happening is no pressure is driving the weather notjust today, but for the next few days and you can see this Weather Front wrapped all the way around it. Now this leading edge if you like has been producing a lot of rain through the course of the night. It is slowly moving northwards and eastwards but if we follow that round, you can see the other end of the Weather Front wrapped around the far south west. Here we are looking at some showers and its going to be fairly blustery. A lot starting off on a cloudy node, some mist and murk around, particularly on the coasts and hills and through the day, the Weather Front continues to slowly move northwards and eastwards taking the rain with it out of Northern Ireland and we will see a few showers here for the afternoon but equally some sunny spells. The north of scotland, quite a bit of sunshine today although at times there will be some cloud moving around. It is here we are likely to be 21 22 as the top temperature. Cool a onshore flow coming in from the north sea, some parts may only get up to 13 14. A push out towards where we put the rain between 16 19. Now through this evening and overnight we still have a Weather Front, evening and overnight we still have a weatherfront, here it evening and overnight we still have a Weather Front, here it is evening and overnight we still have a weatherfront, here it is here, continuing to push northwards and eastwards turning more patchy in nature, so more cloudy rather than wet until the end of the night, when it starts to rejuvenate on its southern edge, so here we will see more rain coming in and there will also be low cloud and mist and murk, so some see showers coming in across the south west. The wind will start to ease and its going to be another mild night with most of us staying in double figures and the overnight lows 10 13. Tomorrow, we start off with this rain across eastern and central parts of england into southern scotland, all this low cloud, mist and fog, clinging to the coast, will push inland into other eastern areas, so north and west is best, but even so, there will still best, but even so, there will still be a few scattered showers around. Areas of cloud, but sunny spells. Temperatures tomorrow, ranging from about 13 in the north to about 18 19 in the south but, once again, its the north of scotland with the highest temperatures so in any sunshine we are looking at about 23 possibly more, and even as we can further south in the sunshine, it will still feel peasant would temperatures at the moment generally above average for the time of year. But once again, along the north sea coast line it will feel that bit chillier because of the low cloud we have got, the mist and it, and also the Onshore Breeze. As we head on into thursday, its a day of variable amounts of cloud, some showers, and if anything, the shower was becoming more widespread. Through england and wales in particular, as we go to the day. Where we have got sunshine and light winds, these are our temperatures, so 13 in the north, 20 in glasgow, and also down towards cardiff. Maybe 22 in Northern Scotland, but again, cooler along the north Sea Coastline. Then, as we head into friday on the weekend, the low pressure thats been driving our weather moves over towards the east. Weve got a ridge of High Pressure across the north of our country so that means north is going to see the driest and the sunniest conditions. We could well start with some low cloud, mist and fog first thing, which will slowly lift and its the south, closer to the low pressure, thatis south, closer to the low pressure, that is likely to see the showers. These are our temperatures. Still feeling present in the sunshine. These temperatures round about average or indeed just above. Certainly are not going on with the weather and you can ever say that its boring. Weather and you can ever say that its boring its boring. Thats true.

Hello, good morning from bbc london, im tolu adeoye. A man shot dead in South West London in the early hours of saturday morning has been named as Jazmel Patterson low. Police said the 26 year old was shot on the westbury estate where a crowd of around a0 people had gathered. Detectives believe an argument flared up resulting in a gun being fired. There have been no arrests. Redbridge council in North West London says it cant afford to repair a key bridge, and is asking Central Government forfunding. Broadmead road bridge has been shut for nine months causing delays and disruption to drivers with little sign of it re opening. The government says the bridge is the councils responsibility. There are some positives in the sense theres less traffic, which is quite nice, but it has a massive impact on deliveries, people travelling, people getting across different parts of the area. What about the older elderly people who like to go to sainsburys . You know, they live down there and they need to go to sainsburys. Its not. Its not right. Safety changes are being made along a busy stretch of the thames path, between Wandsworth Bridge and battersea park, after residents reported feeling unsafe due to speeding cyclists. The works involve installing Planter Boxes and Rumble Strips along the path. Extra measures will also be added to help people navigate blind corners. Around 25 of londons Underground Tube Lines now have phone signal, as the project continues for full coverage across the whole network. All of the Elizabeth Line Stations now have coverage. Some victoria and Piccadilly Line Stations are now covered with more to follow in Central London later this month. Sticking with the tube, and travelling on it can test tempers particularly when its busy. So what is good Tube Etiquette . What do you do with your rucksack when the carriage is full, for example . Should you eat on the tube . Well, one of the uks best known etiquette experts, podcaster william hanson, has some tips on the unofficial dos and donts. You can see that on our website. Lets take a look at how the tubes are running this morning. Now onto the weather with kawser. Hello. Good morning. A more unsettled spell of weather over the next few days. This morning, a wet start. There will be some outbreaks of heavy rain for a time, gradually clearing to the north east, becoming drier, but staying rather cloudy. And you can see the rain this morning. One or two heavy bursts for a time. Quite a misty, murky start, as well. That Rain Clearing to the north east for most. By the afternoon there may be some spells of brightness developing across the west and temperatures around 16 18 celsius. A dry start to the evening initially, with some clear spells. More in the way of cloud by the early hours. A bit of mist once more and some showers developing by the end of the night. Temperatures around 11 12 degrees. And over the next few days, well continue to have low pressure nearby, and circulating around this area of low pressure, showers, and some of these showers potentially could be heavy at times, possibly thundery, especially on thursday. There will be some sunny spells in between, though. Temperatures generally reaching the high teens over the next few days but, by the weekend, back up to the low 20s. And thats your forecast. Ill be back in half an hour with another update. Bye for now. Good morning, welcome to Breakfast Withjon Kay and sally nugent. Our headlines today. A medical breakthrough similar to statins a Government Health tsar says Obesity Drugs could be a game changer cutting the risk of Heart Attacks and stroke. As russia claims to have advanced towards ukraines second city, the us Secretary Of State Anthony Blinken makes a surprise visit to the capital kyiv. Will it be fourth time lucky for co op live . Britains biggest indoor arena is due to open again tonight, after a string of problems and delays. Why some tottenham fans are willing their side to lose against Manchester City tonight, as the drama came at aston villa who kept their Champions League dream alive against liverpool much to the delight of Hollywood A Lister and fan tom hanks. Good morning. We have a band of Rain Pushing Northwards and eastwards today. Very slowly, it has to be said. Ahead of it, Northern Scotland will have the driest warmest conditions. Behind the Weather Front, a mixture of sunshine and showers. I will have all the details later in the programme. Its tuesday 14th may. A new study has found that anti obesity injections could reduce the risk of Heart Attacks and stroke, regardless of how much weight people lose. Researchers from University College london have described their results as a major breakthrough, and they say it could be similar to the introduction of statins in the 1990s. Chi chi izundu reports. Obesity is considered a growing Health Problem in the uk, because alongside it can come other health complications. And one treatment a Weight Loss Drug offered on the nhs only from last year could help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. A new study in part paid for by the company which makes one of the drugs, ozempic is suggesting that the medication could cut the risk of Heart Attacks and stroke. Scientists followed more than 17,500 people from 41 countries with an average age of 62. All were either overweight or obese, didnt have type two diabetes, but did have a history of cardiovascular problems. Half were given a dose of the drug, the other half a placebo. The report suggests that anti obesity medications such as ozempic and wegovy appear to cut the risk of Heart Attacks and strokes, regardless of how much weight people lose. Whilst the study still has to be fully reviewed, experts are describing its findings as a game changer, and could potentially change clinical practice like other drugs taken to help cardiovascular conditions. I think its a really important discovery, and its an important change because its the sort of thing we got with statins. When we in the � 90s, when statins came in, we finally figured out that there was a drug class that would change the biology of this disease to benefit a lot of people. Ozempic was originally used to help type two diabetes sufferers, but demand for it has seen shortages in recent months, leaving patients struggling to get their prescriptions. Why these drugs are potentially helping fight things like Heart Disease is not yet fully known. Scientists think it could be related to inflammation. And there are other Chronic Diseases they also think this drug could help. Chi chi izundu, bbc news. We will talk in more detail throughout the programme about this story. But nowjon has more of the days news. As ukraine struggles to hold back a major Russian Incursion near its second largest city, the us Secretary Of State has arrived in the country to show americas continuing support. A new front has opened up near the city of kharkiv, with ukraine admitting that Russian Forces are starting to surround the border town of vovchansk. Today, americas top diplomat, Antony Blinken, is expected to meet president Volodymyr Zelensky and other officials. From ukraine, heres our correspondent james waterhouse. Shouting.

Thousands have been forced to escape and counting. The newly homeless end up here in ukraines second city, kharkiv. People are terrified. They are stressed. They take. They keep their animals with them. So everyone is in a huge stress because of the constant shelling and of the shock of the russian offensive. Volodymyr said he went to feed his animals, when he encountered Machine Gunfire in all directions. For now, kharkiv city is a place of relative safety but for how long . While few think the russians are capable of taking it, they could soon be in artillery range. Translation our task is Crystal Clear to stop russias attempt to expand the war. The fulfilment of this task depends on everyone who is on the ground. Missiles routinely hit kharkiv. If this offensive isnt contained, the destruction will be even greater. Ukraine is struggling to hold what is a new front line. James waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv.

Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the country yesterday that this was not a normal Independence Day because the country is involved in that gaza conflict, because so many israelis are still suffering. The hostages that i still held by hamas, the idf soldiers still in combat in gaza. The Prime Minister said that israels war of independence is in fact still going on, the country still fighting for its feed them and we know there is intensification of Military Action Intensification of Military Action in gaza, particularly around rafah, the city on the border with egypt that israel told palestinians to evacuate part of last week. That means more than 300,000 Palestinian Refugees on the move again in that city. There was also an intensification of fighting in the north of gaza, areas that israels military had previously cleared, and is now going back into with tanks, meaning the potential for more civilians or people, more civilian deaths, and perhaps questions israels entire strategy, questions whether it is possible to clear and drive out hamas sustainably, keep them out for the long run if they are now having to send soldiers back into areas they previously thought were clear. Questions over the israeli strategy, the number of palestinians who are people and on the move again, seven, eight months into this conflict.

Today this could be the greatest day of our lives. Take that moved their five night residency across the city to the ao arena co op lives direct rival. Coca cola bottles that i only use to curl my hair. While Olivia Rodrigo is still trying to reschedule the two dates she was forced to cancel.

I tell you what, i dont know if the owners of co op live believe in a higher power but if they do i think they will say a few prayers ahead of they will say a few prayers ahead of the elbow gig because the venue really has been beset by problems before even its official opening. There was due to be a test event here with rick astley and they had to cut the number of Tickets Available for that at the last minute because the venue was not ready. Then you had the official opening which was meant to be boltons peter kay and his gigs got cancelled not once but twice. Then you got the resignation of the General Manager over the problems that there have been here. And then you had the likes of take that moving their concerts to the rival arena across town. The owners of the venue say they are confident that tonights elbow gig will go ahead, thats the problem is there have been have all been ironed out, so we are waiting to see what does happen.

Thank you. We will stay with things weather. After one of the wettest winters on record, and a soggy start to spring, many farmers across the country are still dealing with the impact on their crops and lifestock. Its an issue that will be high on the agenda at todays farm to fork summit, where Food Producers and retailers from across the uk will have a chance to speak directly to the Prime Minister. Heres our Rural Affairs correspondent, lucy vladev. Horns beeping. The frustration of farmers in recent months is no secret to politicians, with rather loud protests at westminster� s front doors. Horns beeping. Many have suffered from spiralling Production Costs and after the wettest 18 months on record, crops are failing and livestock have been stuck inside. Coupled with changes to farming payments post brexit, Campaign Groups say producers are at breaking point. Its an absolute disaster for the country Going Forward. Theres going to be, you know, a massive Straw Shortage Going Forward for next winter, and theres going to be problems ahead with potato shortages, vegetable shortages. And at the same time, the government have put more Trade Barriers in for imports from europe. The government is keen to show its listening today, the uks first new Food Security index has been published, monitoring things like Food Production costs and productivity. Its aim is to better guard against things like extreme weather, and shocks to Global Market prices. And today, around 70 Farming Producers and businesses have been invited to number 10, where later the Prime Minister will set out plans for new Funding Schemes including for fruit and vegetable growers. Many of us have been calling for more funding, more support for horticulture for a very long time. And so, you know, finally were getting somewhere with this whether the money is going to be enough, i dont know, but we have to recognise that only 33 of adults and 12 of children eat their five a day. So its in the nations interest that we support growing and consuming more british fruit and veg where we possibly can. Many eyes today, then, on the famous black doors, as politicians and producers press the flesh inside. Lucy vladev, bbc news. Werejoined now by tom bradshaw, president of the National Farmers union. He has recently taken over. Good morning to you, thank you for joining us. Shall we start by talking about the weather . Just how bad has this wet winter and soggy spring been for you kate farmers . Unfortunately it has been the wettest 18 month period on record and it is having some very acute impacts on farmers. They havent been able to plant their cereal crops in the autumn and that weather has continued through the winter and the spring, we started with the storm in october and then hank in hankin storm in october and then hank in Hank Injanuary and the amount of flooding and damage done to fields across england and wales is simply unimaginable. They will be areas of the country not growing any food crops this year for the first time in living memory. There are some very, very severe impacts on our members right across the country. That will take another 12 to 15 months to get over, so the chronic impact at the moment i very, very severe. I guess the farm to fork strategy is more about the strategic long term plans for the future. That longterm plans for the future. That is the impact longterm plans for the future.

What us producing less food here means we will be more reliant on food importing from countries around the world. The weather impact we have seen here have not been isolated to just the uk, it has also been right across Northern Europe and then we have had incredibly dry spell in russia. We have had very wet weather in southern brazil. These impacts around the world mean that the volatility in our food markets is here to stay and that is why we need to take control of how we produce the food here, trying to feed 78 Million People living on an island is something we need to take responsibility for.

It is ironic, the timing of the bad weather this year, because when you met the Prime Ministerfor this event year, because when you met the Prime Minister for this event 12 months ago he was talking about improving our Food Security in the uk. Absolutely, and i think we have seen the importance of Food Production right up the political agenda. All parties are saying Food Security is national security. We now need to underpin that with the policies that will deliver long term Food Security, the foundations providing more fruit and vegetables for society. As farmers we are very proud to produce those crops and we need the right market percentage, the right infrastructure and the ability to invest in our businesses for the long term. Ability to invest in our businesses for the long term. What more can farmers themselves for the long term. What more can farmers themselves be for the long term.

I improve the security of the nations food supply . Food supply . I think our supply chain relationships food supply . I think our supply chain relationships are food supply . I think our supply i chain relationships are absolutely essential. You will have heard a lot about fairness in the supply chain, we have several government reviews going on to make sure there are fair returns for the risks that farmers are taking, but knowing there is an ability to produce a profitable crop or profitable output, dairy, livestock farmers, so we can reinvest our business for the future, is absolutely essential. The whole supply chain has a responsibility here, so government have their role to play, making sure that planning is easier that we can build their infrastructure, but our supply chain must take responsibility for the importance of domestic Food Production in delivering Food Security for the country.

A bit late in the programme we will be joined by Hugh Fearnley whittingstall, who is encouraging us to have 30 different types of plants, fruits and vegetables, every single week. From what you are saying it doesnt sound like, as a nation, we could possibly support people eating anything like that many. I support people eating anything like that man. ~. ,. , that many.

I think we have lost the link between a healthy diet and link between a healthy diet and healthy population and it is really important we eat more fruit and vegetables. At the moment we produce less than 50 of the vegetables we consume here, less than 20 of the fruit we consume. There is huge opportunity for growth if we have the right market conditions, and one of the priorities for the Prime Minister is a horticultural strategy. It is announcing investment in our horticultural supply chains and that will be very welcome but we need to look at the detail and make sure it will have the desired impact and really deliver the ability to grow that sector where there is huge opportunity for growth for the future.

Because confidence is absolutely essential, and what we have seen is that confidence has fallen off a cliff. We have done our Confidence Survey results, they are the lowest they have ever been. We are building up they have ever been. We are building up confidence is what will deliver Food Security for the future, is making sure our members have the ability and the willingness to invest in Food Production for the future is a critical part of delivering Food Security for the country.

A second funeral has been held for a great grandmother in hull, six months after her family thought she had been cremated. Jessie stockdales body was one of 35 discovered by police at legacy independent Funeral Directors, which is now at the centre of a major investigation. Yesterdayjessies loved ones were finally able to lay her to rest, and asked the bbc to be there, as linsey smith reports. This is the second funeral of beloved mum and nana jessie stockdale. The 89 year olds First Service took place last year. Her family received ashes. But in march they learnt that jessies body was one of 35 recovered from legacy independent Funeral Directors a business now at the centre of a police investigation. Ive been ordained 26 years now, and here four years, and ive done i actually dont know how many funerals ive done hundreds, thousands. Ive never known anything quite like this. This is just utterly bizarre you know, complete betrayal of trust. Jessies grandson, tristan, was his nanas full time carer. In the raw emotion of today, he was too upset to talk. But sent us this from his home beforehand. Nobody ever expects to have to arrange a second funeral. Whats happened at legacy is nothing short of traumatic. Weve all been left having sleepless nights, nightmares, and i think that is going to be a hard thing to overcome. All my nanas memories have been tainted by whats happened at legacy. My nana wasnt treated with respect or dignity. Im just hoping that this second funeral will give us all some comfort, and to lay my nana to rest. Legacy� s headquarters sit in the heart of this tight knit hessle road community. You dont have to walk far to find a daughter, sister, neighbour orfriend who has been touched by the recovery of the bodies, and a quantity of ashes. Its absolutely heartbreaking that families are having to re grieve and go through all this again. Do you know, we feel the hurt for the community and seeing people distraught. We just want to do our part and show our support do the flowers, do the families justice, basically. Two people have been arrested in connection with legacy independent Funeral Directors, and released on bail. This family hope that by sharing their pain, itll lead to regulation of the funeral industry injessies name so that this never happens again. Linsey smith, bbc news hull.

One or two heavy bursts for a time. Quite a misty, murky start, as well. That Rain Clearing to the north east for most. By the afternoon there may be some spells of brightness developing across the west and temperatures around 16 18 celsius. A dry start to the evening initially, with some clear spells. More in the way of cloud by the early hours. A bit of mist once more and some showers developing by the end of the night. Temperatures around 11 12 degrees. And over the next few days, well continue to have low pressure nearby, and circulating around this area of low pressure, showers, and some of these showers potentially could be heavy at times, possibly thundery, especially on thursday.

Ill be back in half an hour with another update. Bye for now. Hello, this is Breakfast Withjon Kay and sally nugent. As ukraine struggles to hold back a major Russian Incursion near its second largest city, the us Secretary Of State has arrived in the country to show americas continuing support. A new front has opened up near the city of kharkiv, with ukraine admitting that Russian Forces are starting to surround the border town of vovchansk. We can speak now to our ukraine correspondentjames waterhouse whos in kyiv. Good morning. James, how significant have the latest attacks from russia been . Good morning. They are undeniably significant. I think we need to look at this through the lens of this being a region and the city, kharkiv itself, which russia threw the kitchen sink at in the early stages of this full scale invasion when they crossed over from previously occupied territories as well as from russia itself. Kharkiv did not only remain standing but Ukrainian Forces were able to liberate slaves of that territory but here we are now, where Russian Forces in some areas were met with little resistance as they crossed the border. We have a town like vovchansk where people are able to live pretty close to russia in what is a pretty hot area battlefield ways. This is a town which Officials Say will be level. They are in no doubt about that. Its already happening and if the level of destruction not seen since those traumatic early days and weeks of the full scale invasion and you are hearing commanders talking about defensive positions, talking about continuing to try to save lives, more than 7000 people having to be evacuated in the small settlements and then you have the question of kharkiv itself. Do you think it could fall this time around because of the volume of Russian Forces deployed but it brings them in artillery range and people know what happens when the russian advance near. Cities are levelled, towns are levelled, and it is this blueprint of russias invasion which they like to label as a liberation. Things are looking incredibly difficult and challenging for ukraine in this north east pocket of the country. Its interesting that the timing of todays visit by americas top diplomat Antony Blinken who has now arrived, he is meeting president zelensky in kyiv today, what will they be saying to one another, do you think . They be saying to one another, do ou think . , they be saying to one another, do you think . You think . Two things. Antony banen you think . Two things. Antony blinken will you think . Two things. Antony blinken will be you think . Two things. Antony blinken will be pressed you think . Two things. Antony blinken will be pressed on you think . Two things. Antony blinken will be pressed on two things by president zelensky and his top ministers, the speed at which this american ammunition and weaponry can arrive as part of this huge 61 billion package, because that has been the issue, as ukrainian see it, and a motivator as Russian Forces have seen it as they look to capitalise on this delay. That is the general view here. The second thing they will discuss is what is going on in the north east, so you will see ministers point to a map and say look, here they are, they are moving in, this is why we need the air defences we asking for, why we need this ammunition yesterday to try to stall this advance and what can you do for us in the medium to long term . This is the currency president zelensky needs to deal with. The debate about unlocking this is about whether you ukraine could win or lose the war. Whats happening in kharkiv is testing that. It whats happening in kharkiv is testing that. Testing that. It feels like a ivotal testing that. It feels like a pivotal moment, testing that. It feels like a pivotal moment, doesnt i testing that. It feels like a l pivotal moment, doesnt it . Testing that. It feels like a pivotal moment, doesnt it . Thank you. Lets speak now to defence secretary grant shapps, whose in Central London this morning. Good morning. What is the latest you can tell us about the situation weve just been discussing with a correspondence . What do you know . I was speaking to my opposite number in kyiv yesterday and catching up with specifically what happening in kharkiv where russia is making this new attack into the second largest city in ukraine. And we discussed the defence of that and obviously i dont want to go into too much detail, but we are very much supporting strategically what our ukrainian friends are doing and of course we know there is a large American Package backing up the record british package we are putting in as well. To make sure ukraine has the defensive means it requires. My understanding is they are stabilising very much on that line. figs are stabilising very much on that line. � , are stabilising very much on that line. ,. ,. ,. , line. As we just heard from our correspondence line. As we just heard from our correspondence day line. As we just heard from our correspondence day in line.

The american supplies have been held up by congress recently in the united states. Would you say america is partly to blame for this latest development for this breakthrough russia seems to be achieving right now . I russia seems to be achieving right now . , ~ � , russia seems to be achieving right now . , � ,. Now . I do think its concerning underworld now . I do think its concerning underworld took now .

I do think its concerning i underworld took their eye off the ball to some extent because we knew for many months that ukraine would need more equipment, the uk stepped up, we sent our biggest package this year and then we enlarged it again last month, and also sent along an additional kit to ukraine. We know that internal politics in america, there was that delay, what was happening in congress, and it has created some issues. We cant go backin created some issues. We cant go back in time but we can make sure we support our ukrainian allies Going Forward and thats very much what i was discussing with Ukrainian Defence ministerjust was discussing with Ukrainian Defence minister just yesterday. Looking at timings, the invasion of ukraine was february 2022, and we are now made 2024, are we looking ahead to a very difficult summer for ukraine . ~. ,. , ~ ~ , ukraine . Well, look, i think this has always ukraine . Well, look, i think this has always been ukraine . Well, look, i think this has always been difficult ukraine . Well, look, i think this has always been difficult for has always been difficult for ukraine. Number one, and numbertwo, they always exceeded the world expectations, they are incredibly brave, they are people who are not prepared to see their country overrun and brits and i think has played a very significant part, perhaps not fully recognised here in the uk, but when i speak to president zelensky or my opposite number, the very first thing they say to me typically are things like we wouldnt be in this more today had it not been for britains proactive in and eating other countries to help defend ukraine so yes, ive no doubt it will be a difficult summer but i have no doubt at all ukraine will work their way through it and more and more assistance is coming from civilised countries who recognise its not right Vladimir Putin can walk into his neighbours and if we allow him to do that there will be no end to this and he will carry on invading other countries in the region and we have already seen the massive impact it has had here at home through those Energy Price Hikes but ended up those Energy Price Hikes but ended up having the government having to pay around half of the average energy bill the winter before last. So staff matters here at home as much as it does in many sectors in ukraine itself. I much as it does in many sectors in ukraine itself. Ukraine itself. I know today you want to talk ukraine itself. I know today you want to talk about ukraine itself. I know today you want to talk about the ukraine itself. I know today you want to talk about the six ukraine itself. I know today you want to talk about the six new i ukraine itself. I know today you want to talk about the six new ships due to be built. Are these six new ships we are talking about today i know is part of an announcement you are here to talk about, are these the same ones the government pledged to build two years ago . Yes. The same ones the government pledged to build two years ago . To build two years ago . Yes, we siunalled to build two years ago . Yes, we signalled we to build two years ago . Yes, we signalled we would to build two years ago . Yes, we signalled we would want to build two years ago . Yes, we signalled we would want to to build two years ago . Yes, we | signalled we would want to build to build two years ago . Yes, we signalled we would want to build new ships for our commandos and thats something we have said all along. What has changed as we are now able to do it because we have increased our defence spending to 2. 5 of our Gross Domestic Product and in fact my speech this morning at lancaster house is actually about building 28 ships, up to 28 ships, in total, and submarines included in that number, so theres a girl area of shipbuilding, new warships, which we were deployed to deter those who would want to do us harm. Its very important our adversaries know we are serious about this countries defence and our 2. 5 gdp on defence really sense that signal, so its something we are now able to do because the money has been pledged to defence. {lit because the money has been pledged to defence. , j~ because the money has been pledged to defence. J~. ,. ,. , to defence. Of those 28, how many of them are currently to defence. Of those 28, how many of them are currently being to defence. Of those 28, how many of them are currently being built .

Ii9 answer is 22 are currently in design and build. The additional six our multirole ships. So for example, last week, i went to see hms cardiff in scotland actually being built, a type 26 forget, and i was walking over that ship and so a lot of them are very advanced in their build and others are at the commissioned stage and these new six ships we are talking about today, these multirole ships, for our commando forces, the Royal Marines, those are in the Concept Design stage. Concept design stage. Concept desiun, Concept Design stage. Concept design. Does Concept Design stage. Concept design, does that Concept Design stage. Concept design, does that mean Concept Design stage. Concept design, does that mean they i Concept Design stage. Concept l design, does that mean they are drawn on paper . Does that mean there is a shipyard ready to build them . It literally means they are being designed, so the designers are working on them, it has active employees working on the design of their ships to make sure they could fill everything on the Royal Marines to do, who holds a very special place in this country is history. We know their future ships will need to be able to do a whole bunch of new things and be extremely flexible and weve learned from for example what happening right now in the red sea, what happening in the black sea, in ukraine, and putting all of that into the design of these ships. The design is the first phase and then we will go into the commissioning and construction of those ships. Very new shipbuilding programme. I think we can all feel great comfort from it because we have said as a government we are prepared to back our defence of this country by spending 2. 5 of gdp on defence. Irate spending 2. 5 of gdp on defence. We can see and hear you are at Horse Guards Parade at the moment as preparations are continuing for a ceremony regarding the d day commemoration torch.

I9 this is 80 years on, and one of my roles as defence secretary, chair of the war graves and this 80th anniversary, involves the lighting of a torch which will be happening here this morning and im having to host the event. You can probably hear some of the warm up behind me here. Very important to remember the past, particularas here. Very important to remember the past, particular as we are discussing things like the future of this countries defence this morning. I think those who forget the past condemn us to repeating mistakes of the past which is why this all links into what we talking about, stopping a despotic leader like Vladimir Putin from trying to run across countries in europe. Its a lesson we have known before and we should bearin we have known before and we should bear in mind today. A very important link to the past with this torch lighting.

That will start at around eight oclock this morning. John has been notjust watching the football but scouring the terraces. Its been thrilling, exciting and who knows which way the premier League Season will go with a title but we are bringing sara stardust as well this morning. We had tom hanks, acting royalty at villa park last night. Who knew he was a massive aston villa fan . He seemingly is and wants a piece of the pie and a bit of drama as well which was served up. He is a recent convert. He was over here, he liked the sound of aston villa as a place come as a name, that seems to have stuck. And we have a lifelong villa fan, probably not the most famous. Prince william of course. You cant top royalty. I wonder if thats what persuaded tom hanks . Perhaps it was drawn to a bit of stardust as well. Could you imagine that in the hospitality role . Will was busy yesterday. Probably watching at home like the rest of us. Morning. Like any Hollywood A Lister, you dont want to miss a slice of the action. Tom hanks right in the heart of it at villa park. They went 1 0 down though after a gift of a goalfrom emi martinez, the villa goalkeeper. They would be 3 1 down to liverpool, but upstepped john duran twice scoring three goals in four minutes. Duran. Duran. Rescuing a draw. It was the sort of drama in this thrilling season has been dished up time and again. He enjoyed it and judging by his video before the game, hell be back. Hello, birmingham, tom hanks here, celebrating the penultimate match here in villa park. Looking forward to it. Good news on the horizon. Lets hope so. Up the villa. Forever villa. Well, tonight there is the unusual scenario. Some tottenham fans want their team to lose against Manchester City tonight. Sounds strange but, of course, should they win it would leave the door open for bitter rivals arsenal to lift the title on sunday. And with rivalries in football running deep, that is something theyjust cant entertain happening, as ben croucher now reports. And then there were. How many, pep . Two teams in this title race and for Manchester City, two games between them and another premier league. If it werent for city, wed be showering arsenal with praise. Victory over Manchester United ensures it will go down to the final day. And the maths is Pretty Simple really. City are a point behind arsenal, but have that game in hand against spurs on tuesday night. Win that and at home on sunday to west ham and theyll be champions. Any dropped points and its advantage arsenal. Now i know what youre thinking this is Manchester City at this stage of the season and youd be right. 21 unbeaten in the league since the start of december. Scoring for fun of late too. But heres the but theyve never won in the league at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Was many chance happen. We played really good. Many, many times we were not able to score and win the games, but the same, to do Something Like in this country, never another team has done it. So you have to do something special, exceptional, i would say. And if not happen in the premier league, never, ever, we have to do it this time. So the story is in front of us and we have to accept it. We have not done it. Its the time to do it. Otherwise arsenal would be champion. Now the irony of tottenham doing arsenal a favour wont be lost on many of you. Some fans, not all, might not be too upset if they lost to city. So could it be an odd atmosphere . What atmosphere . You havent told me. So you think the majority of our fans are going to want us to not win tomorrow night . I dont see it that way. I think our fans will. The majority of our fans will create the atmosphere theyve always created at our home games. And, as i said, irrespective, weve got a game of football to win and thats what were going to try and do. So in a season that lasts 283 days, itllall come down to the final five. City are hoping to make it how many in a row now, pep . Got it. Ben croucher, bbc news. That will be some story of Manchester City can do it. No team has ever done that before. Meanwhile, rangers play dundee tonight in the Scottish Premiership knowing they must win, or the title is celtic� s. In the womens super league, arsenals Star Striker Vivienne Miedama Has announced she will be leaving the club at the end of the season. Shes been with arsenal for seven years, winning the wsl title five years ago. Twice a golden boot winner, we understand arsenal have made the decision not to renew miedemas contract. And finally its Notjust Thrilling in the premier league. There is a certain fight this weekend, a rumble in the ring. And theres been an explosive start to fight week in saudi arabia ahead of the undisputed World Heavyweight Clash between tyson fury and oleksandr usyk. Fury� s dad john was seen with blood coming from a head injury after he clashed with a member of usyk� s team, before security stepped in to stop any further confrontation. The incident took place at a hotel where mondays Media Activity was taking place. Fury holds one belt, usyk holds three. The fight at the kingdom arena will see the winner become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four belt era. It is going to be big and that would suggest tensions are already running a little high. The fighting has already started. They will need to try to keep a lid on that before it kicks off this weekend. John, thank you. You fairly wedding still will be here in a moment but apparently some for us. Made of vegetables . Im so hungry anything is a treat right now. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. Is it isita is it a treat this morning . Not necessarily is it a treat this morning . Not necessarily. Good is it a treat this morning . Not necessarily. Good morning, a mile start to the day and most of us are in double figures. Milford haven in pembrokeshire at 12 degrees, kinloss, 16. The north of scotland likely to have the highest temperatures as we go through the day. We could well reach 22. But not necessarily dry. We have a Weather Front, slow moving, but its moving northwards and eastwards and it is producing a lot of showers across the south west as well. You can see the south west as well. You can see the shape of it wrapped all the way around an area of low pressure. Its going to continue to drift northwards and eastwards and we will haveit northwards and eastwards and we will have it coming in from the north sea but on the other side of the Weather Front as it moves out of Northern Ireland and wales, it will brighten up ireland and wales, it will brighten up with variable amounts of cloud, some sunny spells and also some showers. Quite blustery across the south west today as well. The highest temperatures will be across Northern Scotland and will feel cooler than Onshore Breezes and also the cloud and some rain across eastern areas but generally we are looking at 12 17. This evening and overnight, a Weather Front weakens as it continues to move northwards and eastwards, the rain largely dying out, but then it rejuvenates across the southeast with some heavier rain. The wind will ease as well through the course of the evening and overnight period. Some clear skies and its not going to be a cold night. These are the overnight lows. Tomorrow, here is the Weather Front draped across the country. Still producing some rain. No cloud, mist and murk coming in from the north sea and if anything, it will drift further inland through the course of the day. Toward the west, sunshine and showers. Top temperatures once again across Northern Scotland, 23. Widely we are looking at 13 19. Northern scotland, 23. Widely we are looking at1319. Looking at 1319.

We were a tiny bit distracted because we are talking about food. We have got cake. It survived on the table. We know there are Significant Health benefits to getting at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day but how would you feel about eating 30 different plants a week . Thats what Hugh Fearnley whittingstall, who is best known for his River Cottage cooking series, is now on a mission to promote. Hes here to tell us more. I think you are immediately going to say to me its notjust about plants, vegetables. Its say to me its notjust about plants, vegetables. Say to me its notjust about plants, vegetables. Its not ust about fruit fl plants, vegetables. Its not ust about fruit and i plants, vegetables. Its not ust about fruit and veg, plants, vegetables. Its not ust about fruit and veg, it is h plants, vegetables. Its notjust about fruit and veg, it is very i plants, vegetables. Its notjust. About fruit and veg, it is very much about fruit and veg, it is very much about plans and a new book is called how to eat 30 plants a week and i want to make as possible and as delicious as possible and the five fresh fruit and veg are great, but the plant world is much bigger than that. The amazing new science tells us that all the plans contribute to a healthy gut micro biome which is what gives us immunity and resistance to things like Heart Disease, type two diabetes, and some forms of cancer so if you can pack in 30 plants a week you really will reap the benefits. This is hard science, the original study was on 11,000 people, whose exact diets were documented over time, trying to find out whether the guns, omnivores and vegetarians had the best Health Outcomes and there was nothing really to choose between them except when they counted the exact number of plants and they ate, those who are heading up in the 20s towards 30 were seeing much more benefits and were seeing much more benefits and we got 10 of the study already, getting to 30, and had amazing outcomes for their gut micro biome and their Long Term Health. 30. And their longterm health. 30, thouuh . And their longterm health. 30, though . It and their Long Term Health. 30, though . It sounds like a lot. And their longterm health. 30, i though .

Illinst of us are about 12 15 on average. Thats because we are totally allowed to include spices and herbs and also how a group of foods i think a lot of us have got room for improvement on, pulses, nuts and seeds. We can all make room for a bit of them and you can see the food pictures from my book around you, a lot of pulses and greens, whole grains count, and even the spices, and another study showed just by adding a few teaspoons of curry powder to your food every day if thats the only change you make you still get a small benefit for your gut micro biome and your Overall Health so we got to open our eyes to this. There are 30,000 edible plants. Ive listed 200 of them in my book, all of which will be familiar, none are particularly outlandish. Youve probably tried them all at some point in your life so the person we need to do is remind ourselves what plans we already like and we all get stuck in already like and we all get stuck in a bit of a rat in the kitchen, so its time when we go shopping to take off the blinkers and look around and see what delicious plant foods are all around us. {line around and see what delicious plant foods are all around us. Foods are all around us. One of the reasons everybody foods are all around us. One of the reasons everybody gets foods are all around us.

One of the reasons everybody gets stuck in a i reasons everybody gets stuck in a rut in the kitchen as they probably go to the supermarket to buy the same things all the time and at the moment, when you go to the supermarket, lots of people are paying very close attention to the cost. We talk about it a lot here on this programme, a shopping trolley getting more and more expensive every week. If we are going to start eating more a wider variety of plants and vegetables, is not going to be more expensive . It plants and vegetables, is not going to be more expensive . To be more expensive .

A new study has found that anti obesity injections could reduce the risk of Heart Attacks and stroke, regardless of how much weight people lose. Researchers from University College london have described their results as a major breakthrough, and they say it could be similar to the introduction of statins in the 19905. Chi chi izundu reports. Obesity is considered a growing Health Problem in the uk, because alongside it can come other health complications. And one treatment a Weight Loss Drug offered on the nhs only from last year could help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. A new study in part paid for by the company which makes one of the drugs, ozempic is suggesting that the medication could cut the risk of Heart Attacks and stroke. Scientists followed more than 17,500 people from 41 countries with an average age of 62. All were either overweight or obese, didnt have type two diabetes, but did have a history of cardiovascular problems. Half were given a dose of the drug, the other half a placebo. The report suggests that anti obesity medications such as ozempic and wegovy appear to cut the risk of Heart Attacks and strokes, regardless of how much weight people lose. Whilst the study still has to be fully reviewed, experts are describing its findings as a game changer, and could potentially change clinical practice like other drugs taken to help cardiovascular conditions. I think its a really important discovery, and its an important change because its the sort of thing we got with statins. When we in the 90s, when statins came in, we finally figured out that there was a drug class that would change the biology of this disease to benefit a lot of people. Ozempic was originally used to help type two diabetes sufferers, but demand for it has seen shortages in recent months, leaving patients struggling to get their prescriptions. Why these drugs are potentially helping fight things like Heart Disease is not yet fully known. Scientists think it could be related to inflammation. And there are other Chronic Diseases they also think this drug could help. Chi chi izundu, bbc news. Jon has more of the days news. As ukraine struggles to hold back a major Russian Incursion near its second largest city, the us Secretary Of State has arrived in the country to show americas continuing support. A new front has opened up near the city of kharkiv, with ukraine admitting that Russian Forces are starting to surround the border town of vovchansk. Today, americas top diplomat, Antony Blinken, is expected to meet president Volodymyr Zelensky and other officials. From ukraine, heres our correspondent james waterhouse. Shouting. These communities are used to russia being close but not this close. Forfour days, bombs have rained down here, and the window to leave is shrinking. Thousands have been forced to escape and counting. The newly homeless end up here in ukraines second city, kharkiv. People are terrified. They are stressed. They take. They keep their animals with them. So everyone is in a huge stress because of the constant shelling and of the shock of the russian offensive. Volodymyr said he went to feed his animals, when he encountered Machine Gunfire in all directions. For now, kharkiv city is a place of relative safety but for how long . While few think the russians are capable of taking it, they could soon be in artillery range. Translation our task is Crystal Clear to stop russias attempt to expand the war. The fulfilment of this task depends on everyone who is on the ground. Missiles routinely hit kharkiv. If this offensive isnt contained, the destruction will be even greater. Ukraine is struggling to hold what is a new front line. James waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. The situation in ukraine is something weve been talking about with the defence secretary, grant shapps. Our chief political correspondent, henry zeffman, joins us now. What is the sense in whitehall at the Ministry Of Defence about what is going on in ukraine at the moment . Is going on in ukraine at the moment . A, ~ , is going on in ukraine at the moment . A,. , moment . Morning. I think they are very concerned. Moment . Morning. I think they are very concerned, very moment . Morning. I think they are very concerned, very concerned i moment . Morning. I think they are i very concerned, very concerned about the military situation playing out in ukraine, but also figures in government here have been concerned for some time about the changing debate in the west, about support for ukraine. We know that over the past couple of years, especially in the early aftermath of that invasion, the uk played a big part and was very proud to play a big part in drumming up support for ukraine, military support and diplomatic support. Butjust ukraine, military support and diplomatic support. But just as the uk was at the forefront of that support back then it has been at the forefront in recent want of trying to persuade other allies to keep up the support for ukraine, principally there has been a lot of frustration in the uk about what is going on in america in terms of supporting ukraine, which is something grant shapps the defence secretary spoke to us about earlier. The world sort of took their eye off the ball to some extent because we knew for many months that ukraine would need more equipment. The United Kingdom did keep stepping up we sent our biggest package this year, and then we enlarged it again last month, and also sent a lot of additional kit to ukraine. We know that internal politics in america meant that there was that delay what was happening in congress and, you know, it has created some issues. Grant shapps talking about the internal politics of the us, something that also occupies the governments thoughts a lot here is what might happen, should the American Government change next year, to donald trump. How would he handle the situation in ukraine . Speaking of changes of government, here the labour party, which could of course be in government by the end of the year here, is thinking a lot about how they would handle ukraine. John heaney, the shadow defence secretary, and david lammy, shadow foreign secretary, are doing away on an unpublicised visit to ukraine yesterday. When you think about that, before you get onto all the other wars and crises in the world at the moment, you can understand why rishi sunak gave up fairly gloomy, fairly scary speech about the state of the world, the danger of the world yesterday. Foreign policy is not often a big feature of election years here in the uk, but given what is happening in ukraine, given what is happening in ukraine, given what is happening in the world, i think we will hear a lot more from grant shapps and other politicians about how we should think about the uks security. And think about the uks security. And ahead of that think about the uks security. And ahead of that election, as well. Henry, thank you very much indeed. A labour party backed report has recommended capping the amount that rents can be raised for existing private tenants in england and wales.

Commemoration events will be taking place to mark the 76th Anniversary of the formation of the state of israel. Our correspondent, danjohnson, joins us from jerusalem. Dan, what sort of tone will there be to these events this year . Yes. To these events this year . Yes, independence to these events this year . Yes, Independence Day to these events this year . Yes, Independence Day in to these events this year . Yes, Independence Day in israel, i to these events this year . I9 Independence Day in israel, but perhaps more a day for reflection this year than celebration. The Prime Minister has said this is not a normal Independence Day, 76 years on from the formation of this estate. I think that is recommendation donor recognition of the division, the concern about how the division, the concern about how the war in gaza is being carried out that is recognition of the division. Also the plight of hostages being held in gaza. A more muted tone to the events planned today, a more sombre mood. I think in part that is to try to guard against the possibility of extensive protests against the way this war is being conducted, and it is recognition of the lives that have been lost and are still at stake because we know there is still intense fighting in the south of gaza, around rafah, where posting were told to evacuate last week. And in the north israeli tanks have been in the north israeli tanks have been in action, fighting once more in areas that had previously been decreed declared clear. That raises a question about whether israel has a question about whether israel has a strategy to try to eradicate hamas front garden is actually working and is sustainable in the long run. Dan. Is sustainable in the long run. Dan, thank you the troubled new Co Op Live Arena in manchester has said it will officially open this evening, after a number of setbacks.

Georgia and Melissa Laurie were on a holiday in mexico when their trip of a lifetime became the stuff of nightmares as our reporter abi smitton explains. Their family would describe twins georgia and melissa as keen and adventurous travellers. Back in 2021, they took the trip of a lifetime to mexico, sightseeing and volunteering. With a group of friends, they signed up for a Riverboat Tour of the picturesque manialtepec lagoon. They were told it was safe to swim in the water. Within minutes, though, melissa was dragged under by a crocodile. I actually heard her scream and i saw her being taken underneath and by the crocodile. And then i realised she was really in trouble. It was georgia who saved her life, leaping into action. It grabbed her on the leg and her behind and tried to death roll her and drag her away. So i was beating it on its snout and it grabbed my wrist and my arm. So i had to beat it off with the other with my other arm. Both twins were rushed to hospital. Melissa was left with life threatening injuries. She contracted sepsis and was placed into an induced coma. It was touch and go for a while, but a few days later, georgia shared this positive update. They took the tube out of her. Shes been breathing on her own very well. But she cant talk because of the soreness in her throat from the tube. She recognised me, knew who i was, seemed happy to see me. Over the past three years, the twins have tried to put the ordeal behind them, but georgias bravery is still being remembered and celebrated shes now been awarded a kings gallantry medal for her life saving efforts to protect her sister.

Im tolu adeoye. A man shot dead in South West London in the early hours of saturday morning has been named as Jazmel Patterson low. Police said the 26 year old was shot on the westbury estate where a crowd of around a0 people had gathered. Detectives believe an argument flared up resulting in a gun being fired. There have been no arrests. Redbridge council says it cant afford to repair a key bridge and is asking Central Government for funding. Broadmead road bridge has been shut for nine months causing delays and disruption with little sign of it re opening. The government says the bridge is the councils responsibility. There are some positives in the sense theres less traffic, which is quite nice, but it has a massive impact on deliveries, people travelling, people getting across different parts of the area. What about the older elderly people who like to go to sainsburys . You know, they live down there and they need to go to sainsburys. Its not. Its not right. Safety changes are being made along a busy stretch of the thames path, between Wandsworth Bridge and battersea park, after residents reported feeling unsafe due to speeding cyclists.

Lets take a look at how the tubes are running this morning then. Theres a good service so far. The northern and piccadilly lines have minor delays. Now onto the weather with kawser. Hello. Good morning. A more unsettled spell of weather over the next few days. This morning, a wet start. There will be some outbreaks of heavy rain for a time, gradually clearing to the north east, becoming drier, but staying rather cloudy. And you can see the rain this morning. One or two heavy bursts for a time. Quite a misty, murky start, as well. That Rain Clearing to the north east for most. By the afternoon there may be some spells of brightness developing across the west and temperatures around 16 18 celsius. A dry start to the evening initially, with some clear spells. More in the way of cloud by the early hours. A bit of mist once more and some showers developing by the end of the night. Temperatures around 11 12 degrees. And over the next few days, well continue to have low pressure nearby, and circulating around this area of low pressure, showers, and some of these showers potentially could be heavy at times, possibly thundery, especially on thursday. There will be some sunny spells in between, though. Temperatures generally reaching the high teens over the next few days but, by the weekend, back up to the low 20s. And thats your forecast. Hello, this is Breakfast Withjon Kay and sally nugent. Its one of the most contentious issues facing our society should someone with a terminal illness be allowed to end their own life . Later today, the isle of man could take a step closer to becoming the first place in the British Isles to legalise assisted dying. Our medical editor fergus walsh is there for us this morning. Good morning. A significant day . Yes, a very significant day, good morning from the chamber of the House Of Keys. Here is the speakers chair and here House Of Keys. Here is the speakers chairand here are House Of Keys. Here is the speakers chair and here are the green benches, green because the House Of Keysis benches, green because the House Of Keys is the isle of Man Parliament equivalent to the House Of Commons at westminster, and today, members will be voting on key details of the assisted dying bill. Now theyve already decided that terminally ill patients with less than 12 months to live should be given the right to die, they must have mental capacity and today, they will be voting on whether or not they should be allowed to ask a doctor to give them allowed to ask a doctor to give them a lethal injection or whether they must take those drugs themselves. The isle of man has a Population Ofjust 85,000, the same as grimsby. But for over a thousand years it has set its own laws and is about to vote on one of the most contentious issues facing society. These two campaigners want to see assisted dying introduced on the island. Simon was kept alive way too long, in way too much pain. He had no dignity whatsoever, no quality of life. Sue biggerstaff is haunted by the memory of her husbands agonising death from motor neurone disease. The doctor, everybody was wonderful. But the fact is, simon had intravenous morphine in both legs and both arms, and patches. And still he was in pain. She says simons final months were torture paralysed from the neck down, his muscles wasting with open wounds that would not heal. How can anybody want to be alive when theyre decomposing . I mean, its sick. Its sick. Ella, god love her, if i had her here now paralysed from the neck down, incontinent and her body decaying, and i didnt do anything, id be locked up. So should the terminally ill have a right to die . That is what the Manx Parliament tynwald is set to decide. Claire barbour, a member of the House Of Keys, is a former Intensive Care Nurse who says at present some are denied a good death. Ive come across people who have openly expressed a will for assisted dying because theyre suffering, but theyre not allowed to. So we allow and encourage, we empower people to make decisions about their health care all the way through their life. But when it comes to making those decisions around a good death, we take the ultimate decision away from them. But those against say legalising assisted dying would set a dangerous precedent. Bill leishman, a baptist minister, says Christian Churches on the island are united in their opposition. My big concern for this bill is for Vulnerable People, l for people who dont have much agency for themselves, and the the effect that it could have, the dangers of coercion, the dangers of unintended l consequences, the dangers for people who feel suicidal. These are the people that i would be most concerned for. If assisted dying came in, it would really challenge me emotionally. All the islands doctors, like duncan gerry, qualify overseas. He says many like him will consider leaving if assisted dying is introduced. Im very concerned that assisted dying is a Slippery Slope that you start on. When you allow people to be killed by their doctor, to assist to die by their doctor, it begins a journey that doesnt stop and Vulnerable People start out with an offer, becomes a suggestion, becomes an obligation to die. And i worry that Vulnerable People will be sucked into a law to help a very, very small number of people. If the bill is approved, it could become law next year, with the first assisted death in 2027. Although theres now a proposal for the whole issue to be put to a referendum, giving the public not politicians the final word. Well with me to discuss this are two members of the House Of Keys, a doctor who introduced a private members bill and alf cannon, who takes an opposing view and is also the chief minister. Let me start with you, you introduced this bill so can you sum up for me why assisted dying is the right thing to do now . ,. ,. ,. , assisted dying is the right thing to do now . , � , do now .

Communities i across the uk are watching closely. Fergus, thank you very much indeed. You are watching breakfast. Its been warm in the last few days, hasnt it . Everybody wants to open the windows and get some fresh air. Theres nothing worst than opening your windows on a hot day and then having to immediately close them when theres a bad smell outside. Now imagine having to live with that for months. Thats been the situation for residents living near a Landfill Site in pembrokeshire, who say the foul odour has become unbearable as our wales correspondent Hywel Griffith reports. Chanting stop the stink stop the stink they call it the stink bomb on steroids. A foul odour which, since last autumn, has really been getting up the noses of people in pembrokeshire. Some are worried about the impact on their families. Gives you a headache. It really makes you nauseous. Its gassy. When its at its worst, its very oppressive. You can almost taste it. Its that bad. This is whats at the centre of the row the withyhedge Landfill Site. Its been here for decades, but it was only last autumn that problems began. This is what it looked like in december. Since then, the authorities have been in to try and ensure emissions are reduced. A target date in april came and went. Some arent convinced todays latest deadline will make any difference. This stinkjust isnt going to be stopped. The deadline will come and go and we will have to move to a next level of action because the authorities dont seem to be maintaining our human right to breathe fresh air. The smell can carry for miles. But whats happened here has also caused a bit of a stink far further afield. The landfill is linked to a company which donated £200,000 to vaughan gething, the new First Minister of wales, as he was running to be the leader of welsh labour. Today we turn a page in the book of our nations history. Its two months since he won the race, but the questions have continued. Mr gething has repeatedly said no rules were broken. Hes accepted the donation� s caused concern and anxiety, but didnt want to talk to us about the issue. His political opponents say hes been found wanting. It doesnt really show that the First Minister has got a good grasp of good political judgment and that brings into question then other decisions that he will have to make as First Minister. And weve been quite clear as a party and locally that we want this stench to end at withyhedge, we want this stench to end in welsh politics. And i think the First Minister has got some serious questions to answer. Back in pembrokeshire, the Landfill Company says its on track to end the odour and will stop putting in more waste from tomorrow. Whether thats enough to stop the stink is a question that hangs in the air. Hywel griffith, bbc news, pembrokeshire. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather.

You might not want to some parts of the might not want to some parts of the country because pretty wet but a weather watcher has sent in this picture from derbyshire. Thank you very much. Murky, we got some heavy rain. This is a Weather Front slowly pushing northwards and eastwards, a lot of shallows behind it but some clear skies ahead of it at the moment. In aberdeenshire, this is the picture, some blue skies, quite different. No pressure is driving our weather. This Weather Front is moving northwards and eastwards but if you follow it around, nick abbot wrapped around the centre of the low pressure and thats where we are getting the showers coming in across the south west of england and also later through wales as well. So this Weather Front slowly continues its journey moving northwards and eastwards, higherand journey moving northwards and eastwards, higher and sea fret coming in from the north sea. Far north of scotland, cloud at times, but also some sunny spells and behind the Weather Front, for Northern Ireland, as the rain clears, for the midlands, southern england, wales, the south west, drier conditions and a few showers and blustery In The South West. Also and blustery In The South West. Also an Onshore Breeze coming in along the north Sea Coastline said temperatures in some parts could be down to about iii degrees. That will be the top temperature, but across Northern Scotland we are looking at 21, possibly 22. As we head on over night, here is the Weather Front continue its journey northwards and eastwards. The rain turning more patchy but it will rejuvenate in the south east as they go through the latter part of the night with a lot of cloud around, clearer spells, the windies income and we have got the mist and fog coming in from the north sea but temperatures generally in double figures. Thats how we start tomorrow. The Weather Front, still with a cloud and rain across eastern parts of england. Possibly into the midlands, Northern England and southern scotland. Now the low cloud, mist and fog along the east coast will move a bit further inland as we go to the course of the day. On the other side, we are looking at sunny spells, a few showers, not as windy. But once again, the north of scotland is favoured for the most sunshine and the highest temperatures, 23. Possibly a bit more. Cooleralong temperatures, 23. Possibly a bit more. Cooler along the north Sea Coastline. Generally 17 19. It is higherthan coastline. Generally 17 19. It is higher than we would expect at this time of year. Normally it would be roughly 13 in the north, 17 in the south. Heading into thursday, its a mixture of cloud, sunny spells, and some showers. The service becoming more widespread across england and wales particularly as we go to the course of the afternoon. You can see where we have got the best of the sunshine in the north, and also the far south, and these are the temperatures. 13 20, quite widely. 22 likely across Northern Scotland. For friday and the weekend, no pressure drifts further east. A ridge of High Pressure across the north of the country so its a change in fortunes for some. In the south, closer to the low pressure, we are looking at a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. Some showers have the inventory, but in the north, something more settled with a bit more sunshine. With a bit more sunshine. Thats aood to with a bit more sunshine. Thats good to know with a bit more sunshine. Thats good to know. Carol, with a bit more sunshine. Thats good to know. Carol, thank with a bit more sunshine. Thats good to know. Carol, thank you | with a bit more sunshine. Thats good to know. Carol, thank you very much. The number of people out of work due to long term sickness went up in the first three months of this year compared with the end of last year. The official figures were released this morning and bens been taking a look for us. Good morning. Cast your mind back about a month and you may remember the Prime Minister said he wants to strip gps of the power to sign people off work because of sickness to try to tackle what he calls the uk is Sick Note Culture. But how big a problem is it . Hello to you. Were taking a look at the number of people who are not working because of long term sickness. More than a fifth of people aged 16 to 64 are not working at the moment. Some will be trying to get a job. But the vast majority nearly nine point four million are known as economically inactive meaning theyre not looking for work. That could be because theyve taken early retirement, theyre studying full time or perhaps caring for family members. But it can also be down to long term sickness and thats a particular problem. Figures published this morning show that in the first three months of this year, more than 2. 8 Million People were not working because of Long Term Health conditions. Its slightly higher than the previous three months at the end of last year and is 100,000 more than the same period a year ago. And its a definite trend. In the same period four years ago, just before the pandemic, Long Term Health conditions kept 2. 1 Million People out of work. So weve seen that figure steadily rising since then. The government says stricter fit to work tests would get around 200,000 people back into work. And it also plans to reform fit notes and remove gps power to sign people off work. But thats been pretty unpopular with both Disability Charities and opposition parties. There is a call for evidence over that proposal at the moment. But what about fixing the root cause behind those Sickness Levels . Our Chief Economics correspondent Dharshini David has been to Jaguar Land Rover to see how one of the uks biggest Car Manufacturers helps its staff to stay healthy at work. The smallest details matter atjlrs test centre near coventry. And notjust for its cars. Across the site, this centre aims at stopping injuries and illnesses in their tracks. Youre going to drive your knee to your chest and youre going to come into a crunch. A weekly fitness class led ange to treatment for an earlier ankle problem. Thats made a massive difference, actually, to how i can walk, how i can run on it whereas previously i was having a lot of issues sometimes doing that. While michael hopes to avoid disruptive surgery on his achilles tendon. I went along to my gp he said theyve got a very good rehabilitation centre, and that and you should speak to them, and theyll sort you out some physio before we go down the operation route. Jlr has several centres set up by its Chief Medical Officer to complement the nhs. We cover a whole range of conditions. We do have physiotherapists, and theyre very traditional. We also have Mental Health practitioners, so they will look after people for their Mental Health then we have our physiologists offering a whole range of programmes including nutrition advice, including sleep advice, including trying to get people fitter. The state spends tens of billions of pounds on benefits linked to illness. Of those assessed, almost half had the likes of Bad Backs Orjoint issues, musculoskeletal problems. Only Mental Health disorders were mentioned by more. When youre aiming to build the leading vehicles of the future, having a workforce thats fighting fit makes commercial sense and not just here. Because the uk is the only major economy with fewer people in employment than prior to the pandemic because of our problem with long term sickness. Now the governments measures including Welfare Reform and also more Occupational Health support should help milder cases, but how do we stop this chronic issue ballooning . Medical experts say intervention from an Overstretched Nhs can come too late. Half of those not working due to illness have been signed off for more than three years. More schemes like this may be needed to keep us on the road. Dharshini david, bbc news. Really interesting to see their what one employer is doing. On the big picture level. The government told us the uks Inactivity Rate is below the average of the g7 group of rich countries and the eu. It said it was enhancing support for people with disabilities and Long Term Health conditions and that over a Million People will be helped by its £2. 5 billion back to work plan. Thank you very much. A torch of commemoration is on its way from the uk to normandy to mark the 80th anniversary of d day next month.
