times by english water companies, in one year. small amounts making a big differnce. i'll explain why an increase in microdonations is good news for charities. sunshine makes a big difference at the moment but the problem is a lot of shower cloud around and i have been looking for summer but still no sign. it's friday, ilithjune. around 200,000 scottish fans are expected to be in germany for tonight's european championships opening game. scotland's been drawn in a tough group, with the first match against the hosts taking place in munich. meanwhile, england heads into the competition as one of the favourites having reached the final last time around. john watson is there for us. good morning. finally, the tournament about to begin. that is right. good morning. the day has finally arrived. for scotland fans, it is called the biggest party for them in 26 years as they prepare to take on hosts germany in the opening match of the euros. their first major overseas tournament since the world cup staged in france in 1998. the fans have arrived by any means possible, some of them flying in. fans have arrived from australia. and as we will see, a fan walked all the way from hampden park. they wanted to be here, they did not want to miss the moment in what will be a huge night in the history of scottish football. all ages, all walks of life. one common passion. # with the famous tartan army. the tartan army has taken over munich, some calling it scotoberfest. most don't have tickets for the match against germany, but the party is for the whole family. if we are going to get germany in any game, you want them in the first game. they are going to be nervous. it's their home tournament and we are the underdogs, so we've got nothing to lose. unfortunately, i've not got a ticket. i've got a few of my mates here. but, you know, it's one of those things, i'm happy to be here. 0ne fan, craig ferguson, walked all the way from glasgow to munich for a men's mental health charity and had high hopes scotland would also take great strides in the tournament. if we win, i did promise i would walk back. more than 200,000 scotland fans are expected at the tournament, planning to be the 12th man. like the support, we couldn't do it without them. they have pushed us over the line, at times, and we hope they enjoy themselves over the next 10—11 days, because, you know, if we can perform, we'll give them plenty to shout about. and if we can do that, then, hopefully, they can stay in germany that little bit longer. and they have all travelled for this. the euros begin here at the allianz arena. scotland couldn't have asked for a higher profile match, taking on the hosts germany in their back yard and in the opening game. commentator: scotland go two in front. _ a win over spain en route to qualify for their second consecutive euros has given scotland the confidence to defeat anyone. i think we should all be proud that we are here. hopefully, at the end of this tournament, we are proud that we have achieved something a little bit more — something a little bit more special in regards to scottish football. a win or even a draw may be a pipe dream, but it's not the dog in the fight, it's the fight in the dog. jane dougall, bbc news, munich. yes, the rallying cry from the captain andy robinson almost as loud as the bagpipes itself. he said leave nothing out of there tonight as has their manager steve clarke, his mantra is respect everybody, for no one, and they will need to do that against hosts germany. it was a sea of blue and tartan yesterday, this place, and will be as scotland fans gather in what is notjust for a huge day for them but for the players as well. as we edge closer to the big game tonight. studio: many counting down the hours. we have just passed the halfway mark in the election campaign. yesterday was the split. we are getting towards the final point. three weeks towards the final point. three weeks to go. we will know by then. seven candidates from the political parties traded blows last night in a debate on itv news as the date of the election draws closer. representatives went head—to—head, covering topics including immigration, tax, the nhs and the cost of living, as our political correspondent helen catt explains. familiar faces with familiar pitches. hi, i'm angela rayner, labour's deputy leader, and we have a real chance to turn the page and have change in britain. good evening, i'm penny mordaunt. i'm going to be talking to you about which of your taxes the conservatives will cut. labour will be trying not to talk about the ones they're going to put up. but reform's nigel farage had a new claim. just before we came on air, we overtook the conservatives in the national opinion polls. we are now the opposition to labour. his claim was based on a poll for yougov, which put them one percentage point ahead of the tories for the first time. psychologically, that is significant, but it is within the margin of error and more polls would be needed to suggest a definite trend. what is clear, though, is that labour is still polling far ahead of both. and in this debate, it was noticeable that angela rayner faced more attacks than previously. angela, which of your party's . u—turns are you most proud of — the ditching of the 28 billion- climate investment plan, keeping the cruel two—child benefit cap, or one of the others? _ what i'm not proud of is that we've had 1a years of the tories and the crashing of the economy. plaid cymru pushed back on labour's choice not to lift the cap, too. and labour is refusing to. again, i ask what's happened to labour? well, again, we've said that we'd have action on child poverty, but we will not... but you won't lift the two—child limit — a conservative policy that you are determined to press ahead with, even though it damages some of our poorest families. we will not...we will not do unfunded spending commitments. the snp questioned the future of spending under labour, while criticising the tories' handling of the economy. we've had 1a years of austerity, then we've had the damage of brexit and what that's done to the economy, the shrinking of the economy, the £40 billion worth of tax receipts which have disappeared out of the economy. and while the conservatives' penny mordaunt had one consistent accusation she wanted to level at her opponents... a vote for any other party will increase your taxes. higher taxes, higher taxes, higher taxes, higher taxes, higher taxes. what are you on about? the lib dems' daisy cooper said it was the tories that had put them up and added more costs. but the fact is that the cost—of—living crisis has been made so much worse by the mini—budget, which blew a hole in the public finances and made people's rent and mortgages go absolutely sky high. and people have felt that hit and they are still trying to recover now. no post—show handshakes, this time. with less than three weeks to go, the gloves are off. helen catt, bbc news. we are joined now by our political correspondent hannah miller. voters with a lot to think about with three weeks away. it has been a busy week on the campaign trail. we have busy week on the campaign trail. - have the manifestos from the main parties now. labour will hope after yesterday they are deliberately —— their deliberately boring approach, predictable, is enough to get people to vote for them. the conservatives will no doubt a continuing attack lines about labour raising tax. important to say labour have ruled out raising income tax, national insurance, vat. we know the overall tax burden will be slightly higher under their plans compared to the conservatives. an interesting thing, particularly for the conservatives, is the parl mentioned. showing reform slightly ahead. yougov who did the poll said given they are not an exact science, it might be more accurate to say reform and the conservatives are neck and neck. we will not know for some time whether thatis will not know for some time whether that is a sustained trend but it will cause concern for the conservatives, particularly as they hoped reform would not be playing such a big part in this election. we'll be speaking to the leader of reform uk, nigel farage at 7.30 and then rhun ap iorwerth, the leader of plaid cymru at 08.30. both will be on the sofa. and nick robinson continues his series of interviews with the party leaders. he'll be joined tonight by labour leader sir keir starmer on panorama at half past seven on bbc one and iplayer. sub—postmasters in scotland who were wrongly convicted as part of the the post office scandal will have their convictions quashed after emergency legislation comes into force from today. it means anyone found guilty of embezzlement, fraud or theft relating to the faulty it system between 1996 and 2018 will be automatically exonerated and eligible for compensation. it follows a similar law that came into force in england and wales in march. elon musk, the chief executive of tesla, has had a record—breaking $56 billion pay package approved by the company's shareholders. a judge blocked the deal earlier this year, because of concerns about mr musk�*s influence over the board. it is not yet clear if the same court will accept the result. g7 leaders have agreed to lend ukraine $50 billion taken from interest made from frozen russian assets. the prime minister, rishi sunak, has called it game—changing — but the money is not expected to arrive until the end of the year. our deputy political editor, vicki young, reports from the summit in southern italy. he might consider this welcome respite from the election trail. rishi sunakjoined leaders from seven of the world's richest countries. and at least here, there was the guarantee of a warm welcome from italian host giorgia meloni, who boasted that she led the strongest government of all. ukraine has been high on the agenda. president zelensky is here shoring up support. mr sunak reiterated ukraine's right to self—defence in the face of russia's invasion. i've been discussing with my colleagues a game—changing package of support for ukraine that would be funded by the profits on seized russian assets. now, this is something that i and the uk have personally championed and led on for a while now. so it's very positive to see it close to the finish line. it will make an enormous difference. the deal, a $50 billion loan, was finalised by the american and ukrainian presidents. put that money to work for ukraine. another reminder to putin we're not backing down. russian assets should be used for defending lives of ukrainians from russian terror and for repaying the damage the aggressor caused to ukraine. if the opinion polls turn out to be right, this will be rishi sunak�*s last appearance at a summit like this. but when he spoke to journalists here, he told us he was energised by the challenge he faced and said he wouldn't stop making the case for a conservative government until the very last day of this election campaign. many of these leaders have watched as their popularity ratings have plummeted. for a couple of days in southern italy, they'll try to put uncertainty about their own futures to one side and concentrate on global threats. vicki young, bbc news, puglia. three of the household cavalry horses injured after bolting through central london will take part in ceremonial duties for the king's birthday parade. tennyson, who was one of five horses spooked by noise from a building site in april, will be in the sovereign�*s escort. whilst trojan and vanquish will provide the ceremonial guard for the official entrance to the royal palaces. the other two more seriously injured horses are still recovering. those images were so shocking. there was concern at the time they would be ok so clearly on the mend and back on duty, which is great. i am not sure how much excellence there is in terms of the weather. you are going to please someone? i will do. every day it is to see if i can find summer. june the 14th. mid june. we have three months, haven't we? good morning. it will be another cool day. not as cold this morning as yesterday. that is my glimpse of sunshine. there will be sunshine around today. you would be hard—pressed to completely avoid showers and if you do, a lucky day. plenty of showers around especially across northern and western areas with longer spells of rain in northern scotland. the showers in the west develop and push eastwards. gaps between them, the best in the afternoon, more sunshine in the second half of the day for some. showers could become thundery in places. another day when temperatures are down. cool when showers are with you. a breeze in northern scotland will ease this evening. this evening some outbreaks of rain in northern scotland but the rest of scotland and northern ireland, showers. south—west scotland, northern england, a better end to the day with longer spells of sunshine. showers again in wales and the south—west by the evening. they will push eastwards during the first part of the evening and overnight. overnight, showers from the west. temperatures probably down on last night. the weekend, we continue with the risk of sunshine and showers throughout and staying on the cooler side. you are right. you did not find summer. water pollution is an issue we've covered many times on breakfast and it continues to be a problem for our seas, lakes and rivers across the uk. now the bbc has identified what could be thousands of illegal sewage spills by water companies in england in 2022. here's our environment correspondentjonah fisher. every year, the water companies release a summary of how often they spill raw sewage. they're big numbers, but you can't work out from them whether the spills were permitted or not. if there's been lots of rain or melting snow, spilling raw sewage can be legal, as it stops the system being overwhelmed and sewage backing up into our homes. but the law is very clear. spills that take place when it hasn't rained are a breach of the water company's permits. when an overflow operates on a dry day, there's less water in the river and that sort of sewage component becomes bigger. and then that's when we have problems with ammonia, with dissolved oxygen, what have you. so it actually causes problems for wildlife. which is why? absolutely, yeah, absolutely. to pinpoint possible dry spills, the bbc developed a methodology which uses rainfall data from the met office to indicate if spills could have taken place when the weather was dry. we then asked all of england's water companies to provide us details of exactly when and where they spilled in 2022 — a famously hot and dry year. we have a big bbc investigation. last year, three companies gave us their data. and we revealed 388 possible dry spills. six companies refused the bbc�*s request, giving a variety of reasons, including citing the fact that they're under criminal investigation — an explanation which the regulators reject. we don't think it's good. we think it corrodes public trust in the industry. customers have paid for these monitors and paid for the data. therefore, i think companies should share that. why are they refusing to share it with us? you'll have to ask them. so we did. why did so many of the water companies refuse to give us the data from 2022? it does rather give the impression that they have something to hide. i disagree. why would they withhold it? so all of that data is available in real time on their websites. it's not — not from 2022. i will correct you there. and all of the data is submitted to the regulator, who analyses data and makes the determination. yes, the regulator gave us the data because the water companies wouldn't. it is for every individual company to explain the basis on which it distributes the data. we are the most transparent industry in the world when it comes to water. in the end, the environment agency stepped in and gave the bbc the compa ny�*s data. our analysis increases the total of possible dry spills in 2022 to nearly 6,000, with those possible spills lasting more than 29,000 hours. are you surprised at the scale of this? i would like to say i'm surprised. i'm not surprised. these networks haven't been invested in for decades. that investment needs to take place. the water company said the bbc�*s methodology was flawed. they also said many of the possible spills we identified were in fact equipment malfunctions. the data is not sufficient to draw the conclusions regarding whether a spill was dry or wet. regardless, though, we don't want to see any spill of sewage, whether it's dry or wet, into our waterways. water companies must, from this year, publish information about their spills as they happen, and more investigators, like gavin here in essex, are being recruited by the environment agency. data has made us aware of the scale of the sewage problem. the question now is how we fix it. jonah fisher, bbc news. let's take a look at today's papers. the roll—out of labour's general election manifesto leads several of the front pages. the guardian reports on scepticism from some economists over how the party can avoid cuts to public services without borrowing more or raising taxes. the daily mail calls the manifesto �*dangerous and divisive' and argues that sir keir�*s pledges to �*turbo—charge' the economy are undone by policies which — it says — will killjobs and stifle growth. away from the election, the times carries a warning from nhs england's medical director that weight—loss injections, such as ozempic, shouldn't be used just for slimming. the front page of the scottish sun is looking ahead to tonight's huge first game of the euros as scotland take on germany in munich. john is in munich. he will keep us up—to—date. there is a great atmosphere building. we will not know for sure but i think they say up to 200,000 scottish fans have arrived. it will be some occasion. here is something. perhaps you do not realise it is happening more often. you buy something in the shops or online, be it a burger or new bathroom tiles. the price comes and you are asked around at the payment so that the excess can be given to charity. these are known as micro—donations and it's a common method of fundraising being used by many retailers. ben's been looking at this. i guess the numbers stack up. remember the charity shaker pots at the till, it is a modern day upgrade. now that we're using cash less and less, charities have had to find new ways to get your spare change. we're talking about micro—donations. you've probably seen it. you scan your goods at the self—checkout, for example, and then before you pay, a message pops up asking you for a small donation by rounding up to the nearest pound. it's becoming quite common. various retailers are taking part in schemes like this — supermarkets, clothes shops, fast food chains, and even some garages too. and despite the cost—of—living crisis, there's been a huge increase in charity donations this way in the past few years. more than 36.5 million micro—donations were made last year — that's up 72% from 2019. why? research shows we're more likely to give a little more often. in fact, the average donation isjust 23 pence. but it all adds up. sophie long has been to see what a difference it can make. she was super—cute. maria's daughter, ellie, was just 15 when they learned she had hodgkin's lymphoma — a rare form of cancer. that's around the same kind of time. despite intensive treatment, she died just over two years later. but ellie loved christmas, and her last one was magical. it was just a dream come true. it literally...it made her last christmas really special. so her last memory was of that incredible — it wasn't even a moment, it was was four weeks. after we did that, she actually passed away four weeks later. so i think we switched off the lights on the house that day. make—a—wish uk, the charity that brought such joy to ellie and herfamily, benefits from micro—donations. the concept of so—called micro—donations is nothing new. there used to be a lot more of these about, where you could put your loose change. now, the process has been digitised, so when you pay by card it will ask if you want to make a donation by rounding up. so far, it seems to be having the desired effect and boosting the income of charities who are losing out due to the fact that fewer people are carrying cash. if every uk adult donated equivalent of a chocolate truffle just once a week, that would be £1 billion of incremental money for the uk charity sector. and that's still only a fraction — a tiny, tiny per cent of all the total card transactions. so i believe micro—donations is incredibly sustainable, but it's all about choice for the consumers to click if they want to donate. others, though, are more sceptical and think the current boost for charities could be a bubble that mightjust burst. the danger, i think, is that people start to resent this ask every time they pay for anything. if there's no alternative, if you go into a petrol station and you need petrol, itjust becomes a slight resentment. there are mixed feelings about micro—donations on the streets of london. it's annoying. if you want to donate, you donate when you want to. and those just. . .yeah, it's just aggravating, adding to my rush to get out of there. i think it's absolutely fine. it doesn't impact my life whatsoever. i think it's a nice cause. and if you're up to it, like, go for it. and if you're able to. donate, just go for it. i personally donate my own money on my own time for, like, stjude's or whatever, but i typically will never donate in the store. but for maria, whose family has felt the impact micro—donations can have, they can only be a positive thing. make—a—wish was so important, because they gave us hope at a time when there wasn't any. so by make—a—wish giving us that moment, it brought us together at a family at the most crucial time of ellie's journey, and that's something we'll never forget. sophie long, bbc news, london. we want to hear from you. have you started donating in this way? does it make you more likely to contribute? get in touch in the usual ways. please remember to leave your name if you're getting in touch with us via whatsapp. thanks. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. there will be remembrance events today to mark the 7th anniversary of the grenfell tower tragedy, a fire which claimed the lives of 72 people. the inquiry into the fire will be published in september. campaigners from grenfell united have called for a national oversight mechanism, which would ensure recommendations are implemented in the event of similar incident. but it's notjust grenfell. it's, you know... we've sat with members from the infected bloods inquiry. we're currently working with people from the covid bereaved families and united, calling for the government to implement the national oversight mechanism, so that people who experience these tragedies are not left after five, ten, 15 years trying to chase up themselves the recommendations that were made by thejudges. three of the horses which bolted through central london in april will take part in the king's birthday parade on saturday. tennyson, trojan and vanquish are said to have made "swift" recoveries before returning to service last month. five horses were spooked by construction rubble being dropped through a plastic tunnel from height. the other two horses are said to be doing well and will return to duties soon. actress dame peggy ashcroft has been remembered with a blue plaque at her childhood home in south croydon. family and friends gathered for the occasion in tirlemont road. dame peggy died in 1991 at the age of 83. the great exhibition road festival in south kensington is back this weekend for its fifth year, organised by imperial college london. the free event celebrates how science and art can help people and nature flourish with one performer combining her passion as a professional ballerina with her expertise in plant pathology for an expressive performance. let's take a look at the tubes now. the district line is part suspended but a good service on other lines. now, on to the weather with georgie. good morning. not really feeling likejune at all, is it at the moment? low pressure, firmly in charge. and, for the next few days, that means the risk of heavy thundery showers and some blustery winds as well. so for this morning, it's a bit of a grey, damp start, some brighter spells. but, as the day goes on, we're going to see a rash of heavy thundery showers spreading from the south west. hitand miss. but if you're caught in one, you'll certainly know about it. with those blustery winds feeling fresh again with highs of 18 celsius. now, the showers gradually recede eastwards and then, through the early hours, we will have a drier interlude and lows tonight down to around 8 celsius. so a fraction cooler compared to last night. tomorrow, pretty much a repeat performance. further thundery showers, feeling cool again with those gusty southwesterly winds. for sunday, less in the way of showers and then into next week, signs of high pressure building, hopefullyjust in time for the summer solstice on thursday. bye— bye. that's it. back to naga and charlie. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. with three weeks until polling day, most of the uk's major political parties have outlined their priorities for the next five years, should they win the election. the prime minister rishi sunak says the public deserve the security of a government with a clear plan, whereas labour leader sir keir starmer, has said his party has a plan for growth. bbc verify�*s nick eardley takes a closer look at their manifesto pledges. yes. hello. we have the labour and conservative manifestos now. so let me talk you through some of the similarities and some of the differences in their pledges to win you over. let's start with the conservatives — a manifesto that revolved around tax cuts, £17 billion of them. cuts to national insurance, tax breaks for pensioners, tax breaks for first—time homebuyers. but other big spending commitments in there too. a pledge to spend more cash on defence and to fund that national service for 18—year—olds plan. there's a lot more in there, but these are some of the big spending pledges and overall it comes to £17.7 billion. to raise the money, the conservatives are promising a big cut to welfare spending. some experts are sceptical that they can achieve this 12 billion and they are promising to crack down on tax avoidance. again, that 6 billion figure is a bit uncertain. but the key thing you need to know about the conservatives is they are promising tax cuts and to reduce the welfare bill to fund them. so how does that compare with labour? well, the short answer is labour are making fewer pledges. here are some of the key promises — cash to fund more nhs appointments, a green prosperity plan, more teachers and teacher training. again, there are other pledges in there, these are just some of the most expensive ones. but the spending is a lot less than the conservatives. it's 9.5 billion, about 8 billion less. nevertheless, labour need to find a way to pay for it. and here's their plan. like the tories clamping down on tax avoidance, they also say they're going to raise some taxes like vat on private schools and they'll borrow some money to invest in green energy. by the way, both parties are planning to move some cash around to fund some of their priorities, too. but the key thing you need to know about labour is that they are being cautious — limited spending plans and some tax increases to pay for them. so that's the two manifestos. but what about the big picture for the economy? we've spoken recently about the level of tax in the uk going up a lot. and under both the conservatives' and labour manifestos, tax as a share of the economy will keep going up. you can see it there. add all of the manifesto plans together and you get this! the blue line is the conservatives, the red line is labour. the black line is how things are forecast at the moment. but tax as a whole is due to go up as a percentage of the economy under all of those plans, according to the institute for fiscal studies. it's up to you whether you think that's a good or a bad thing, of course. another thing the parties have in common is what they are promising not to do. have a look there. no increase in income tax, no increase in national insurance, no increase in vat, no increase in corporation tax, no to extra borrowing. and all of these pledges could leave them pretty stuck if they want to raise more cash for spending in the next parliament. and that's led to warnings about this — a conspiracy of silence on the difficulties they could face. that's from the institute for fiscal studies again. so there are still questions about what cuts there could be in some spending departments if the economy doesn't grow. there is a lot more about all of this on the bbc news website, about what other parties are offering as well, but hopefully here some useful context that will help you analyse what the conservatives and labour are offering. that's what the two main political parties are offering, but how has that gone down with some voters? nina is at leigh market in greater manchester for us. morning, nina. markets are always a great place to test the waters a little bit. the? test the waters a little bit. they are. i test the waters a little bit. they are- i will _ test the waters a little bit. they are. i will explain _ test the waters a little bit. they are. i will explain to _ test the waters a little bit. they are. i will explain to you - test the waters a little bit. they are. i will explain to you why i test the waters a little bit. tie: are. i will explain to you why we have come to leigh in greater manchester. you are working on election night in 2019, naga, as i was. i rememberthe election night in 2019, naga, as i was. i remember the exact moment when we land leigh had swung from labour to conservatives for the first time in its 100 year history. there were shock waves across the uk. nothing short of a political earthquake. this is a former mining town. salaries are lower than the average and house prices are half the national average. a real shock they abandoned labour. that was the old days. now a new era of politics. there is much more to this constituency and post industrial metals and mining towns, as we have been finding out. come to leigh and atherton in england's northwest, and here you'll find a mix. those living in these towns and villages are proud of their industrial heritage, but also feel fortunate to be close to areas like pennington flash. this is a vast nature reserve where claire's come to unwind from the perpetual pressures of teaching. she wants to hear a party prioritising the classroom. there's nothing in terms of retention, workload, um, orany sort of benefits for teachers. and i know we've had the strikes and things like that, but i don't think things have got massively better. elaine and keith are out with the grandkids and they're still weighing up their options. but one policy area is standing out. one of the big issues for me is the the nhs at the moment. oh, sorry, yeah, the nhs. yeah, definitely. yeah. we've both had occasion to be in hospital recently after accidents and me in particular it wasn't too bad but you had a hell of a wait, didn't you? in the waiting rooms. i think it'sjust general issues at the moment. if you drive a couple of miles east into town, you'll find this community hub — a cafe where people meet to chat and craft. irene and dave opened a year ago, so it's small business growth they want to see stitched into policy. we want somebody to come into power, who understands those struggles and the costs we have to bear. everything goes up, but you're getting less customers, and the customers who do come in are spending less money. if i make a promise, i'll do my very best to make sure that happens. whatever. it doesn't seem to be that way with politicians, i'm afraid. and the weekly knitters are also tangled up in political chatter. we're lacking a politician with fire in their belly and drive. well, we were always drummed in to vote labour. but who to vote for? i will vote, yeah. but there's no clear. there's not. and that's what i'm hearing all the time, is that they're all the same. like lots of areas, some shops have closed here. but warren is part of a team transforming this site into a gp surgery. but he's lost all confidence in any party to nurture the nhs. there is an ageing population, there's a lot of other health cares, lot of other specialities needed. so yeah, the health care is massive to notjust the borough but the whole country. and the wheels turn really slowly and they don't always seem to go in the direction that i would, or we would, like them to go in. and the clock is ticking. less than three weeks to go before voters here decide whether to stick or twist. and, as this area taught us in 2019, anything can happen. indeed it could. we have found kevin fitzpatrick, political correspondent, bbc radio manchester. could anything happen? we know the red wall is not what it was, it does not have this meant it once did. so there were dramatic changes in 2019, in places like this, where you would never have imagined that people would have voted conservative. the cost of living. _ would have

good morning. excitement and anticipation. it all kicks off. we have done our sweepstake. hungary, netherlands, switzerland. benger spain. i was there the last time scotland fans were in overseas in a major tournament, france in 98 when they lost to morocco. i remember the atmosphere. scotland fans know how to party. the songs. the tartan army. they are making munich their home. are calling it scotoberfest in june. good morning. you can understand why the fans are enjoying themselves. it doesn't happen very often, seeing the nation playing in a major tournament. we have been speaking to some scotland fans. they are hopeful, realistic. doesn't come much tougher than playing the hosts germany in the opening match tonight. all of the fans will saying the same thing, they trust manager steve clarke in his decisions. they might have had a difficult time in the run—up to this match but they trust the calls he will make. the squad and the team are in a good place. they had a few injuries in the lead up. no no further injuries to talk about. some of these players have big—game experience, playing in the biggest tournament of all. timer;r the biggest tournament of all. they have the ability _ the biggest tournament of all. they have the ability to _ the biggest tournament of all. they have the ability to upset the odds and worry the germans tonight. they do indeed. two points they finished behind spain in qualifying. as we know, spain has won this trophy many times before, it was a brilliant campaign from them. afterwards they had that difficult run. had some fans worried leading up run. had some fans worried leading up to the tournament. they trust steve clarke and the decisions he will make. they look calm and relaxed in the lead up. there is this talk about making out of the group, something scotland have never married before and to major tournament. the fans saying they are not just tournament. the fans saying they are notjust here to make up the numbers. they would love to make it out of the group and there is no reason they cannot do that. if they are to get a win in the group stage, it might not come against germany tonight. if they are to pick up the points it may come later on in the group when they face other sides like switzerland and hungary. i was talkin: like switzerland and hungary. i was talking about _ like switzerland and hungary. i was talking about the _ like switzerland and hungary. i was talking about the atmosphere. what have the germans made of it? last time they were overseas in the tournament was the last century. i backed the germans are loving the scotoberfest taking place. it has felt like a festival at times, it absolutely has. it has been fun, they have been enjoying themselves. it has been a sea of blue and tarpon. the scotland fans have been mingling alongside some of the germans, the locals in munich. it has been a lot of fun. the real business starts. the top two from each group go through. there is a very good chance for scotland to progress. portugalwon very good chance for scotland to progress. portugal won the tournament back in 2016 and did not win a single group game on

big win and got it. they needed just 19 balls to reach their target of 48 against oman last night — a victory that keeps their t20 world cup campaign alive. england decided to bowl first and oman couldn't cope with the spin of adil rashid, who took four wickets. they didn't prosper against the fast bowlers either as they were bowled out inside 1a overs. jonny bairstow hit the winning runs and the comprehensive win has boosted england's net run rate, which means they'll qualify for the last eight if they beat namibia on saturday and scotland lose to australia later that day. australia have already qualified. now, here's something you don't see very often in cricket. take a look at this — the ball gets lodged in the helmet grill of bangladesh's opening batter tanzid hasan in their group match against netherlands in kingston. the medical team confirmed that tanzid was fit to continue after the concussion test. he went on to score another 21 runs for 35 in total with bangladesh winning the match by 25 runs. in tennis, cameron norrie will lose his spot as men's british number one from monday with jack draper overtaking him in the rankings and norrie was beaten by fellow britjack pinningtonjones in the nottingham open yesterday. he looked comfortable winning the first set, but pinningtonjones fought back to win the next two and he'll play italian mattia bellucci in the quarter—finals. plain sailing though for emma raducanu. she's safely into the quarter—finals after beating ukrainian daria snigur in straight sets. it was just raducanu's second match since april, as she continues her preparation for wimbledon. that stance two weeks on monday when we will be well into the euro is. here's matt with the weather. are you able to cast that far ahead to wimbledon and

showers are in munich. by the time we get to kick off, temperatures around 18. for any england fans heading off this weekend, it does look like they will be heavy rain around saturday morning and the mixture of sunshine and showers. no sign of summer and no sign of summer here. in the next few days things will be cool across the uk, a mix of sunshine and pretty heavy showers. some of you seeing more wetter weather than others. this big suite of cloud is what brought the rain yesterday. this cloud moving in, these are shower clouds. attached to this area of low pressure. note how it stays today, tomorrow, sunday and even the early part of next week. not a massive change in the book us just yet. back to the here and now, showers at the moment remaining in the west. some eastern area starting the day drive. showers will be pushing east with quite a fresh breeze. some of them heavy infantry in the east of england especially. by the afternoon some parts of south—west scotland and north west england, some showers, may be heavy. this evening we will see heavy showers moving across england and wales. clear skies around tonight compared with last night. they will be cooler compared with this morning, temperatures back down into single figures. on saturday low pressure centred across southern scotland. strong winds top and tail the country. lots of showers, particularly in england and wales. sliding into northern parts of england and potentially parts of wales as well. in northern ireland perhaps the afternoon looks brighter. northern and eastern parts of that will slide south as we go into sunday. probably sitting across northern ireland. saturday, sunshine, lightershowers. perhaps sunshine, lighter showers. perhaps brighter weather. sunshine, lightershowers.

federer is considered to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time — claiming 20 grand slam singles titles, including a record eight wimbledon trophies — during an impressive 2a year career. he is also remembered for his fierce rivalries with fellow giants of the game including rafael nadal, novak djokovic and andy murray. two years ago, federer hung up his racquet and retired from playing competitively but he's still a favourite among fans. he's been talking to sally about a new documentary which follows the final days of his career. don't, honestly. i just thought, anyway. the look is good. thank you. the look is good. roger federer, welcome to bbc breakfast. thank you. you talk about when you were a ball kid in the film and you had a dream. yeah. basically. good times. yes. and that ball kid's dream came true. yes. now, i look back on when the players play, you know, french open. i was watching roland garros last week a little bit, and i see the guys playing. i'm like, "wow, they're so good." and i used to do that, too. it's... i feel so distant already towards my career. i start forgetting the things i've done, the records and where i've been and what i've... you know, i don't know. it's more of a beautifuljust past i see on on the road. right. soi... i don't know. it's been a great life, you know. when people talk about you as a player, we hear, "elegance" and "grace" and "he makes it look easy". but grit is the thing that you wanted to talk about. do you think sometimes people forgot about that? totally. absolutely, they did. you know, they only saw, ok, it's so easy for roger, so elegant. the guy doesn't train and he shows up and he just wins it all, you know? but it's not the way it is. and i think for me, that was very... that was a bit complicated because i... so what? i have to pretend to fight. i have to pretend to show grit. for me, the only way to show it is to, like, win five—setters, to win three—setters overcome injury. but effortless is a myth, as we now know. we have to talk about andy murray, who i know you're incredibly close to. he's a similar sort of place to maybe you were. what words of advice can you give him? this is so deeply personal. retirement, at that moment of when you take that decision, how you do that decision, everybody�*s in a completely different circumstance, family life, body wise, mentally, whatever the state is. so this is where only himself and his closest people can give advice. i hope andy, like novak, like rafa, can hopefully keep on playing forever, like a fan. i see it that way. so we'll see. do you, though? yes. don't you think that there's a point where you just have to say... of course you do, but still you want to see them out there because the tour is better with them than without them. and will you all be watching the euros? i would be watching the euros. i mean, i've been watching roland garros. i'm going to be watching wimbledon, the euros, the olympics. as a sports fan, this is the time to be alive. i've got this vision now of roger federer at home with a giant tv, remote control, bag of crisps, trackies on, no exercise. just watching sports. lager. tell me that's going to happen. we'll see in a year when i walk in here how i look like. no, but i'll follow the euros. i'm actually very excited about it. that's brilliant. thank you so much. absolutely. thank you. i remember people saying they always think roger federer was an athlete who would have succeeded whatever sport he went into because he had the natural gift. i would like to see him playing golf because of that great swing! and you can watch more of that interview with roger and sallyjust after eight thirty this morning. hello, good morning from bbc london. there will be remembrance events today to mark the 7th anniversary of the grenfell tower tragedy, a fire which claimed the lives of 72 people. the inquiry into the fire will be published in september. campaigners from grenfell united have called for a national oversight mechanism that would ensure recommendations are implemented in the event of similar incident. but it's notjust grenfell. it's, you know... we've sat with members from the infected bloods inquiry. we're currently working with people from the covid bereaved families and united, calling for the government to implement the national oversight mechanism, so that people who experience these tragedies are not left after five, ten, 15 years trying to chase up themselves the recommendations that were made by thejudges. three of the horses which bolted through central london in april will take part in the king's birthday parade on saturday. tennyson, trojan and vanquish are said to have made swift recoveries before returning to service last month. five horses were spooked by construction rubble being dropped through a plastic tunnel from height. the other two horses are said to be doing well and will return to duties soon. actress dame peggy ashcroft has been remembered with a blue plaque at her childhood home in south croydon. family and friends gathered for the occasion in tirlemont road. dame peggy died in 1991 at the age of 83. the great exhibition road festival in south kensington is back this weekend for its fifth year, organised by imperial college london. the free event celebrates how science and art can help people and nature flourish — with one performer combining her passion as a professional ballerina with her expertise in plant pathology for an expressive performance. let's take a look at the tubes. a good service on all lines. now the weather. good morning. not really feeling likejune at all, is it at the moment? low pressure firmly in charge. and, for the next few days, that means the risk of heavy thundery showers and some blustery winds as well. so for this morning, it's a bit of a grey, damp start, some brighter spells. but, as the day goes on, we're going to see a rash of heavy thundery showers spreading from the south west. hitand miss. but if you're caught in one, you'll certainly know about it. with those blustery winds feeling fresh again with highs of 18 celsius. now, the showers gradually recede eastwards and then, through the early hours, we will have a drier interlude and lows tonight down to around 8 celsius. so a fraction cooler compared to last night. tomorrow, pretty much a repeat performance. further thundery showers, feeling cool again with those gusty southwesterly winds. for sunday, less in the way of showers and then into next week, signs of high pressure building, hopefullyjust in time for the summer solstice on thursday. bye— bye. that's it. back to naga and charlie. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. hundreds of thousands of fans descend on munich for euro 2024 as the four—week festival of football kicks off. many scotland supporters arriving in munich in their droves. the party has started as they prepare to open the tournament against hosts germany tonight. higher taxes, higher taxes, higher taxes, higher taxes, higher taxes. what are you on about? with less than three weeks to go until the general election — the parties trade blows over immigration, tax and trust in the latest debate. nigel farage, the leader of reform uk, will be on the sofa in the next half an hour in the first of our party leader interviews here on breakfast. a coroner criticises the us government as the inquest into the death of teenager harry dunn concludes. we'll be joined by harry's mother at quarter past seven. i have been looking but still no sign of summer in the forecast. while there will be showers and a cool feel this weekend, there will be sunshine at times. i will have the details. it's friday 14th june. around 200,000 scottish fans are expected to be in germany for tonight's european championships opening game. scotland's been drawn in a tough group, with the first match against the hosts taking place in munich. meanwhile, england heads into the competition as one of the favourites having reached the final last time around. john watson is there for us. a slight contrast to last night but it must be buzzing around the place? yes. good morning from munich. a little quieter now compared to the sea of blue that was here in one of the main squares in munich yesterday. it has been called the biggest party in scottish football in 26 years. the first time the team have been in a major tournament overseas since competing in the world cup in france in 1998. they have arrived by any means possible as jane dougal can tell us. all ages, all walks of life. one common passion. # we're the famous tartan army. the tartan army has taken over munich, some calling it scotoberfest. most don't have tickets for the match against germany, but the party is for the whole family. if we are going to get germany in any game, you want them in the first game. they are going to be nervous. it's their home tournament and we are the underdogs, we've got nothing to lose. unfortunately, i've not got a ticket. i've got a few of my mates here. but, you know, it's one of those things, i'm happy to be here. one fan, craig ferguson, walked all the way from glasgow to munich for a men's mental health charity and had high hopes scotland would also take great strides in the tournament. if we win, i did promise i would walk back. more than 200,000 scotland fans are expected at the tournament, planning to be the 12th man. like the support, we couldn't do it without them. they have pushed us over the line, at times, and we hope they enjoy themselves over the next 10—11 days, because, you know, if we can perform, we'll give them plenty to shout about. and if we can do that, then, hopefully, they can stay in germany that little bit longer. and they have all travelled for this. the euros begin here at the allianz arena. scotland couldn't have asked for a higher profile match, taking on the hosts germany in their back yard and in the opening game. commentator: scotland go two in front! _ a win over spain en route to qualify for their second consecutive euros has given scotland the confidence to defeat anyone. i think we should all be proud that we are here. hopefully, at the end of this tournament, we are proud that we have achieved something a little bit more — something a little bit more special in regards to scottish football. a win or even a draw may be a pipe dream, but it's not the dog in the fight, it's the fight in the dog. jane dougall, bbc news, munich. so many of those fans were not even born when scotland were playing in the world cup in france 98. a lot of them here are hopeful but realistic of the task ahead. it is not much bigger than playing hosts germany in the opening match. but so many are so excited, desperate to be here for what is going to be one of the biggest nights in the history of scottish football. we are nowjust hours away from kick—off tonight. studio: we certainly are. we are halfway through an election campaign. it has been eventful so far and campaign. it has been eventful so farand imagine it campaign. it has been eventful so far and imagine it will continue to be. absolutely. a set piece event last night. seven candidates from the political parties traded blows last night in a debate on itv news as the date of the election draws closer. representatives went head—to—head, covering topics including immigration, tax, the nhs and the cost of living, as our political correspondent helen catt explains. familiar faces with familiar pitches. hi, i'm angela rayner, labour's deputy leader, and we have a real chance to turn the page and have change in britain. good evening, i'm penny mordaunt. i'm going to be talking to you about which of your taxes the conservatives will cut. labour will be trying not to talk about the ones they're going to put up. but reform's nigel farage had a new claim. just before we came on air, we overtook the conservatives in the national opinion polls. we are now the opposition to labour. his claim was based on a poll for yougov, which put them one percentage point ahead of the tories for the first time. psychologically, that is significant, but it is within the margin of error and more polls would be needed to suggest a definite trend. what is clear, though, is that labour is still polling far ahead of both. and in this debate, it was noticeable that angela rayner faced more attacks than previously. angela, which of your party's i u—turns are you most proud of — the ditching of the 28 billion- climate investment plan, keeping the cruel two—child benefit cap, or one of the others? _ what i'm not proud of is that we've had 1a years of the tories and the crashing of the economy. plaid cymru pushed back on labour's choice not to lift the cap, too. and labour is refusing to. again, i ask what's happened to labour? well, again, we've said that we'd have action on child poverty, but we will not... but you won't lift the two—child limit — a conservative policy that you are determined to press ahead with, even though it damages some of our poorest families. we will not...we will not do unfunded spending commitments. the snp questioned the future of spending under labour, while criticising the tories' handling of the economy. we've had 1a years of austerity, then we've had the damage of brexit and what that's done to the economy, the shrinking of the economy, the £40 billion worth of tax receipts which have disappeared out of the economy. and while the conservatives' penny mordaunt had one consistent accusation she wanted to level at her opponents... a vote for any other party will increase your taxes. higher taxes, higher taxes, higher taxes, higher taxes, higher taxes. what are you on about? the lib dems' daisy cooper said it was the tories that had put them up and added more costs. but the fact is that the cost—of—living crisis has been made so much worse by the mini—budget, which blew a hole in the public finances and made people's rent and mortgages go absolutely sky high. and people have felt that hit and they are still trying to recover now. no post—show handshakes, this time. with less than three weeks to go, the gloves are off. helen catt, bbc news. we are joined by political correspondent hannah miller. voters have had a great deal to think about and we are getting closer to the election date. in three weeks, this programme will be different with an actual result by then and we already have the manifestos for the two main parties. labour will hope after yesterday they have done enough to convince people to vote for them. the conservatives will continue to talk over the next three weeks about tax cuts they plan. the poll that helen mentioned suggesting reform are a percentage point ahead of the conservatives will cause some concern for a number of their candidates. it is one poll and these things are not an exact science and yougov suggest it might be more appropriate to talk about reform and the conservatives as neck and neck. even that is significant, particularly at this point in a campaign. the conservatives did not want reform uk to be playing such a big part throughout this campaign as it appears they are now doing. thank ou. we'll be speaking to the leader of reform uk nigel farage at 7.30 and to rhun ap iorwerth, the leader of plaid cymru at 08.30. both will be on the sofa with us. and nick robinson continues his series of interviews with the party leaders. he'll be joined tonight by labour leader sir keir starmer on panorama at 7.30 on bbc one and iplayer. sub—postmasters in scotland who were wrongly convicted, who were wrongly convicted as part of the the post office scandal will have their convictions quashed after emergency legislation comes into force from today. it means anyone found guilty of embezzlement, fraud or theft relating to the faulty it system between 1996 and 2018 will be automatically exonerated and eligible for compensation. it follows a similar law that came into force in england and wales in march. nhs england's medical director has warned that the use of non—prescribed medication for quick—fix weight loss is putting people at risk. professor stephen powis says drugs like ozempic, which is prescribed for obesity and type 2 diabetes, should not be used by people wanting to get beach—body ready. it's after doctors in emergency care units reported treating patients with potentially deadly complications linked to the drugs. bbc analysis has found that sewage may have been illegally discharged 6,000 times in england, in one year. spills may have started on more than 200 days in 2022, including during the record summer heatwave when people were cooling off in england's rivers and seas. the firms say they understand public concerns around dry spilling, but they disagree with the bbc�*s findings. today is the second day of the g7 summit in italy, where pope francis is expected to urge world leaders to adopt ai regulations. he will be the first pope to participate in g7 discussions — after warning injanuary against the what he called the perverse dangers of artificial intelligence. mark lowen is in bari this morning. tell us more about this. in itself, the pope's appearance is significant. it is historic, the first time a pope has attended a g7 and the italy prime minister giorgia meloni said she was proud that was happening. pope francis has warned in the past about the dangers to ethics and human rights of artificial intelligence, even an existential threat in terms ofjobs and livelihoods that al threat in terms ofjobs and livelihoods that a! can replace. he has called for global regulation of the sector. that is likely to be discussed by leaders of the g7 today. the potentials, opportunities provided by ai and also the threats and dangers and calls for a global treaty and regulation that might not come into play immediately but is on the minds of leaders around the world. the pope will have bilateral meetings with several g7 leaders, though not rishi sunak, which might be seen as a snub to him but the fact of him being here at all and talking about technology will be seen as an historic moment. thank ou. an asian elephant in central thailand has given birth to a rare set of twins — and caretakers are describing it as a miracle. it hadn't been known that the mother, called chamchuri, was expecting twins and, after giving birth to a male calf last week, staff thought the delivery was done. no. while cleaning up the first calf and helping it stand on its feet, they heard a loud thud and realised that chamchuri had given birth to a female calf. the loud flooding, i suppose that is practical because elephants are big. —— allowed thud. when they give birth, they will make a thud on the floor. it was not the obvious statement it was meant to be. shall we talk about the weather? so, you have been looking for summer? little glimpses of optimism. some people are enjoying this weather. some people do not like it to heart. there is some sunshine around. who are those people? some people do. there is sunshine this morning and this is west london. a lovely start. do not be fooled. if we cast an eye further west, shower cloud and rainbows out in wrexham. the showers pushing across. you can see how numerous showers are in the west. persistent rain in northern parts of scotland which will break up. it will be windy here. blustery across the board. showers pushing eastwards through the day. some heavy and thundery in places. but some brighter moments. more sunshine in the later afternoon and evening. cool and cloudy this evening in the north of scotland. elsewhere, signs of fewer showers and more sunshine in south—west scotland, western northern ireland, parts of northern england. showers across wales in the south—west will start to pep up and could become heavy and thundery with a chance of hail. they work eastwards. this evening a lull and more showers to take us into tomorrow morning. cooler tomorrow morning. by the weekend, the showers continue. sunshine in between. perhaps on sunday, less cool. today marks the seventh anniversary of the grenfell tower tragedy. 72 people were killed when a huge fire engulfed the west london tower block, in the deadliest blaze in a uk residential building since the second world war. the ethiopian and eritrean communities were amongst the hardest hit — losing 12 people, half of whom were children. these families, united in grief, have been supporting each other as they continue their fight forjustice. our reporter ayshea buksh has been to meet them. every day when the anniversary comes, it always is a stress and adds more sorrow into our loss. sadiq and bedriya originate from ethiopia. they lost their sister nura in the grenfell tower fire, along with nura's husband, hashim, and their three children, brothers yahya, yaqub, and sister firdaws. hashim, i describe him as like my own brother. he was a wonderful husband for my sister, nura, yahya, yaaub, for my sister, nura, yahya, yaqub, in a very good family unit. they were wonderful children. her daughter, firdaws, she had been awarded the bill gates foundation. she would have been some sort of asset or valuable for the country. it is difficult to tell about nura in words — the same thing, her husband. they were wonderful people. ibrahim, from eritrea, lost his brother, mohamednour, and his sister in law amal, and three—year—old niece amaya. amal�*s cousin amna, who was visiting, also died. he helped the people, he helped the community, he was very funny, he was very cheerful. he tried to remove any problems from the family, friends and the community. he was very relaxed. he was a very talented person. and now the families have come together. ethiopia and eritrea may have a history of conflict, but, here in london, they are united in their grief and fight for justice. in the early stage of the fire, we were really struggling a lot. but now this group makes us together and makes us help, makes us share information with one another. and that really is really good. paolo lost his five—year—old son isaac in the fire and he regularly meets with the others. we are always together, even, sometimes, like having a get—together — it means a lot and it's like a therapy. this language is the biggest barrier. i mean, you have the loss. and then, on top of that, not understanding the system, not understanding what's happening next. and you cannot be able to express yourself how you feel. it is really — it is very hard. every anniversary, each year, is, of course, difficult for all bereaved families and survivors of the fire. but, this year, there's an extra anxiety and hope as, in just a few months, the final report of the public inquiry will be published. every day, i have attended the inquiry for the last six years. personally, i hope some sort ofjustice will be reported. i hope the inquiry teaches these things not to happen ever again. but as far as we are concerned, we lost our family. we didn't have justice. we are still waiting forjustice. ayshea buksh, bbc news. the coroner in the inquest into the death of harry dunn has recommended better driver training for americans at the raf base near where the 19—year—old was killed. in 2019, mr dunn was hit by a volvo and died after us government employee, anne sacoolas, was driving on the wrong side of the road. harry's mother, charlotte charles, and family spokesperson radd seiger are here with us. good morning. take us through how you are following yesterday's inquest. this cannot have

scene before. i have gained a lot of heartfelt feelings towards those witnesses. i have met one in person, which is priceless to me. i discovered that person was with harry pretty much after the crash happened until he was put into the ambulance and that is invaluable. i will never be able to thank that person enough. he was amazing. so a lot of the night in question i am aware of. i think there

inquiry into the fire will be published in september. campaigners from grenfell united have called for a national oversight mechanism, which would ensure recommendations are implemented in the event of similar incident. but it's notjust grenfell. it's, you know... we've sat with members from the infected bloods inquiry. we're currently working with people from the covid bereaved families and united, calling for the government to implement the national oversight mechanism, so that people who experience these tragedies are not left after five, ten, 15 years trying to chase up themselves the recommendations that were made by thejudges. three of the horses, which bolted through central london in april, will take part in the king's birthday parade on saturday. tennyson, trojan and vanquish are said to have made "swift" recoveries before returning to service last month. five horses were spooked by construction rubble being dropped through a plastic tunnel. the other two horses are doing well and will return to duties soon. the great exhibition road festival in south kensington is back this weekend for its fifth year — organised by imperial college london. the free event celebrates how science and art can help people and nature flourish — with one performer combining her passion as a professional ballerina with her expertise in plant pathology. the main output of science, of scientific research are research papers, and those are essentially a description of a biological process. so what i really wanted to do for a very long time was use ballet�*s storytelling capabilities to be able to explain these scientific concepts and bring them to the general public. let's take a look at the tubes now. minor delays on the district line but a good service on other lines. now on to the weather with georgie. good morning. not really feeling likejune at all, is it at the moment? low pressure firmly in charge. and, for the next few days, that means the risk of heavy thundery showers and some blustery winds as well. so for this morning, it's a bit of a grey, damp start, some brighter spells. but, as the day goes on, we're going to see a rash of heavy thundery showers spreading from the south west. hitand miss. but if you're caught in one, you'll certainly know about it. with those blustery winds feeling fresh again with highs of 18 celsius. now, the showers gradually recede eastwards and then, through the early hours, we will have a drier interlude and lows tonight down to around 8 celsius. so a fraction cooler compared to last night. tomorrow, pretty much a repeat performance. further thundery showers, feeling cool again with those gusty southwesterly winds. for sunday, less in the way of showers and then into next week, signs of high pressure building, hopefullyjust in time for the summer solstice on thursday. bye— bye. i'll be back with your news, travel and weather in around half an hour. now, back to naga and charlie. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. with only three weeks to go until the general election, bbc breakfast has invited the leaders of the uk's seven main political parties to speak to us. we start the first of those interviews with nigel farage from reform uk, who is with us on the sofa this morning. you are very welcome here this morning. thank you very much. we had the debate last

figures for many. low pressure is family over the uk. around that, in the centre but this is where showers will be slow—moving. lots of showers elsewhere. heavyand than to the afternoon across eastern areas. more persistent when in north and east scotland later on. some of the driest spots may be on the south coast. if anything, temperatures down on values today so it will feel a bit cooler. stepping forward into sunday, the persistent rain will drift south. it is likely seven in scotland, northern england and northern ireland have a cloudy and wet today. rain has its way back in. further

captain, who played for england at three euros, scoring at euro '96 and 2000. hi, alan. we will get your euro memories in a moment but first let's start with this opening match tonight. how can scotland cause an upset against the hosts? they have done it already against spain in qualifying when they were in great form. i think they won the first five games, which set them up for this tournament. they know they can do it. they have a mass of people coming over from scotland to support plan which will help them along the way. if you are going to play germany, why not in the first game? they are very difficult to predict. i go back to the euro is a 1996 when we played switzerland. we were expected to win but we could only draw. were expected to win but we could onl draw. ~ .,

all of that. it goes to another level. england haven't won anything for such a long time. these players have to carry that burden. because so much has been spoken about, all you want is a player. the england players and scott and players will just want a tournament game because they have heard so much it has been talked about so much. they want to go onto the pitch and do their stuff. —— and scotland players. 50 stuff. -- and scotland players. so much stuff. —— and scotland players. so much to look forward to, isn't there? time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello,

charlie stayt. our headlines today. each hundreds of thousands of fans descend on munich for euro 2024 as the four—week festival of football kicks off. most of them scotland supporters arriving in munich. the party has started ahead of kick—off against germany tonight. with just three weeks to go to the general election, nigel farage tells breakast he wants reform uk to be labour's biggest rival. i want us to become the opposition voice in parliament and in the country. that is the ambition. bbc analysis finds sewage may have been illegally discharged 6,000 times by english water companies, in one year. small amounts making a big differnce — i'll explain why an increase in micro—donations is good news for charities. it is more like october thanjune. and have you succumbed to putting the heating on? we'll ask the people of cleethorpes how they're feeling about the chilly weather during the great british summertime. i have been searching to see if i could find summer in the forecast but no sign yet. this weekend, sunshine and showers. and it stays cool sunshine and showers. and it stays cool. details here. it's friday 14th june. around 200,000 scottish fans are expected to be in germany for tonight's european championships opening game. scotland's been drawn in a tough group, with the first match against the hosts taking place in munich. meanwhile, england heads into the competition as one of the favourites having reached the final last time around. john watson is there for us. he has been soaking up the atmosphere night and day. a couple of hours ago it was empty where you are and now look at it. yes, good morning. you probably can see behind me scotland fans gathering in this square in munich for what is going to be a long but exciting day as we edge closer to kick—off tonight. they are calling this the biggest party in scottish football in 26 years, it has been that long since they reached a major overseas tournament, the world cup in france 1998. they have arrived by any means, plane, train, automobile. they did not want to miss one of the biggest nights in scottish football history. all ages, all walks of life. one common passion. # we're the famous tartan army. the tartan army has taken over munich, some calling it scotoberfest. most don't have tickets for the match against germany, but the party is for the whole family. if we are going to get germany in any game, you want them in the first game. they are going to be nervous. it's their home tournament and we are the underdogs, we've got nothing to lose. unfortunately, i've not got a ticket. i've got a few of my mates here. but, you know, it's one of those things, i'm happy to be here. one fan, craig ferguson, walked all the way from glasgow to munich for a men's mental health charity and had high hopes scotland would also take great strides in the tournament. if we win, i did promise i would walk back. more than 200,000 scotland fans are expected at the tournament, planning to be the 12th man. like the support, we couldn't do it without them. they have pushed us over the line, at times, and we hope they enjoy themselves over the next 10—11 days, because, you know, if we can perform, we'll give them plenty to shout about. and if we can do that, then, hopefully, they can stay in germany that little bit longer. and they have all travelled for this. the euros begin here at the allianz arena. scotland couldn't have asked for a higher profile match, taking on the hosts germany in their back yard and in the opening game. commentator: scotland go two in front. _ a win over spain en route to qualify for their second consecutive euros has given scotland the confidence to defeat anyone. i think we should all be proud that we are here. hopefully, at the end of this tournament, we are proud that we have achieved something a little bit more — something a little bit more special in regards to scottish football. a win or even a draw may be a pipe dream, but it's not the dog in the fight, it's the fight in the dog. jane dougall, bbc news, munich. it will be a huge night, special night ahead for those scotland supporters. they are hopeful but realistic with the size of the challenge facing them. the hosts germany, no less. this place will be full later. a sea of blue and tartan yesterday and will be the same today as we edge towards kick—off. today they know what they have to do. it will be a huge moment. as we know with any national team playing in a major tournament such as this, you dare to dream. that is what the scotland supporters will be doing today as we edge closer to kick—off here. studio: dreaming and hoping. thank you. speak later. we have the latest leaders' debate yesterday evening. seven leaders. we are trying to get all seven on the sofa. we will talk to them and drill down into their policies ahead of the election. all have been invited tojoin policies ahead of the election. all have been invited to join us on the sofa. today is effectively day one of that. three weeks to go until the polls open. nigel farage has told breakfast that he wants his party, reform, to become the official opposition voice in the country

neck and neck. that is only one poll. we will need more evidence before we know exactly what is going to translate to. it is something for conservative candidates, it will cause concern because they did not want reform uk to play such a prominent role in the election as now appears to be happening. thank ou. we now appears to be happening. thank you- we are — now appears to be happening. thank

emergency legislation comes into force from today. it means anyone found guilty of embezzlement, fraud or theft relating to the faulty it system between 1996 and 2018 will be automatically exonerated and eligible for compensation. it follows a similar law that came into force in england and wales in march. nhs england's medical director has warned that the use of non—prescribed medication for quick—fix weight loss is putting people at risk. doctors in emergency care units have reported treating patients with potentially deadly complications linked to drugs like like ozempic, which is prescribed for obesity and type 2 diabetes. elon musk, the chief executive of tesla, has had a record—breaking $56 billion pay package approved by the company's shareholders. a judge blocked the deal earlier this year, because of concerns about mr musk�*s influence over the board. it is not yet clear if the same court will accept the result. pope francis is expected to urge world leaders to adopt ai regulations at the second day of the g7 summit in italy. he will be the first pope to participate in g7 discussions, after warning injanuary against the what he called the perverse dangers of artificial intelligence. earlier, we heard from our rome correspondent mark lowen, who told us what we could expect from today. it is the first time ever a pope has attended a g7 and giorgia meloni of italy said she was proud of that. the pope has warned in the past about the dangers to ethics and human rights, of artificial intelligence, even an existential threat to jobs and livelihoods ai could place in the future. he has called for this in the sector. it could be discussed, the potentials, opportunities provided by ai could be discussed, the potentials, opportunities provided by aland could be discussed, the potentials, opportunities provided by ai and the threats and dangers and calls for global regulation that may not come into play immediately, but is certainly on the minds of leaders around the world. the pope will have bilateral meetings with several g7 leaders, although not rishi sunak, which might be seen as a snub towards him but the fact the pontiff is here at all and talking about technology will be seen as quite an historic moment. a breeding programme for white storks has had its most successful year to date. about 40 fledglings are expected to leave their nests at knepp castle, a rewilding project near horsham. the birds only started breeding in 2020, whenjust four chicks hatched with 26 fledglings in 2023. you do not see stalks very often, hence the wildlife project. something very calm about a stork. just down there, doing business. very calming. you see their nests in europe, on top ofjimmy stax, in portugal. they are big birds. will they enjoy some sunshine while they are standing be peaceful? to begin with, yes. very good morning. i have found some sunshine on the coast in east sussex. we have blue skies overhead. i will show you another

furrowed when you are telling us this. we will get more detail in half an hour. water pollution is an issue we've covered many time on breakfast and it continues to be a problem for our seas, lakes and rivers across the uk. now the bbc has identified what could be thousands of illegal sewage spills by english water companies in 2022. here's our environment correspondentjonah fisher. every year, the water companies release a summary of how often they spill raw sewage. they're big numbers, but you can't work out from them whether the spills were permitted or not. if there's been lots of rain or melting snow, spilling raw sewage can be legal, as it stops the system being overwhelmed and sewage backing up into our homes. but the law is very clear. spills that take place when it hasn't rained are a breach of the water company's permits. when an overflow operates on a dry day, there's less water in the river and that sort of sewage component becomes bigger. and then that's when we have problems with ammonia, with dissolved oxygen, what have you. so it actually causes problems for wildlife. to pinpoint possible dry spills, the bbc developed a methodology which uses rainfall data from the met office to indicate if spills could have taken place when the weather was dry. we then asked all of england's water companies to provide us details of exactly when and where they spilled in 2022 — a famously hot and dry year. we have a big bbc investigation. last year, three companies gave us their data. and we revealed 388 possible dry spills. six companies refused the bbc�*s request, giving a variety of reasons, including citing the fact that they're under criminal investigation — an explanation which the regulators reject. we don't think it's good. we think it corrodes public trust in the industry. customers have paid for these monitors and paid for the data. therefore, i think companies should share that. why are they refusing to share it with us? you'll have to ask them. so we did. why did so many of the water companies refuse to give us the data from 2022? it does rather give the impression that they have something to hide. i disagree. why would they withhold it? so all of that data is available in real time on their websites. it's not — not from 2022. i will correct you there. and all of the data is submitted to the regulator, who analyses data and make the determination. yes, the regulator gave us the data because the water companies wouldn't. it is for every individual company to explain the basis on which it distributes the data. we are the most transparent industry in the world when it comes to water. in the end, the environment agency stepped in and gave the bbc the compa ny�*s data. our analysis increases the total of possible dry spills in 2022 to nearly 6,000, with those possible spills lasting more than 29,000 hours. are you surprised at the scale of this? i would like to say i'm surprised. i'm not surprised. these networks haven't been invested in for decades. that investment needs to take place. the water company said the bbc�*s methodology was flawed. they also said many of the possible spills we identified were in fact equipment malfunctions. the data is not sufficient to draw the conclusions regarding whether a spill was dry or wet. regardless, though, we don't want to see any spill of sewage, whether it's dry or wet, into our waterways. water companies must, from this year, publish information about their spills as they happen, and more investigators, like gavin here in essex, are being recruited by the environment agency. data has made us aware of the scale of the sewage problem. the question now is how we fix it. jonah fisher, bbc news. when you buy something in the shops or online, it could be a burger or new bathroom scales, would you be prepared to round up your payment to the nearest pound for charity? people are being asked to do this. a common method now in fundraising. ben's been looking at this. people will remember doing this. presumably a lot of money involved. it does. but this has received a mixed response and divided opinion on whether people like it or whether in some cases resent it. this is the modern equivalent of a charity collection pots at the checkout. now that we're using cash less and less, charities have had to find new ways to get your spare change. we're talking about micro—donations. you've probably seen it. you scan your goods at the self—checkout, for example, and then before you pay, a message pops up asking you for a small donation by rounding up to the nearest pound. it's becoming quite common. various retailers are taking part in schemes like this — supermarkets, clothes shops, fast food chains, and even some garages, too. and despite the cost of living crisis, there's been a huge increase in charity donations this way in the last few years. more than 36.5 million micro—donations were made last year — that's up 72% from 2019. why? research shows we're more likely to give a little more often. in fact, the average donation isjust 23 pence. but it all adds up. sophie long has been to see what a difference it can make. she was super—cute. maria's daughter, ellie, was just 15 when they learned she had hodgkin's lymphoma — a rare form of cancer. that's around the same kind of time. despite intensive treatment, she died just over two years later. but ellie loved christmas, and her last one was magical. it was just a dream come true. it literally...it made her last christmas really special. so her last memory was of that incredible moment — it wasn't even a moment, it was four weeks. after we did that, she actually passed away four weeks later. so i think we switched off the lights on the house that day. make—a—wish uk, the charity that brought such joy to ellie and herfamily, benefits from micro—donations. the concept of so—called micro—donations is nothing new. there used to be a lot more of these about, where you could put your loose change. now, the process has been digitised, so when you pay by card it will ask if you want to make a donation by rounding up. so far, it seems to be having the desired effect and boosting the income of charities who are losing out due to the fact that fewer people are carrying cash. if every uk adult donated the equivalent of a chocolate truffle just once a week, that would be £1 billion of incremental money for the uk charity sector. and that's still only a fraction — a tiny, tiny per cent of all the total card transactions. so i believe micro—donations is incredibly sustainable, but it's all about choice for the consumers to click if they want to donate. others, though, are more sceptical and think the current boost for charities could be a bubble that mightjust burst. the danger, i think, is that people start to resent this ask every time they pay for anything. if there's no alternative, if you go into a petrol station and you need petrol, itjust becomes a slight resentment. there are mixed feelings about micro—donations on the streets of london. it's annoying. if you want to donate, you donate when you want to. and those just, yeah, it's just aggravating, adding to my rush to get out of there. i think it's absolutely fine. it doesn't impact my life whatsoever. i think it's a nice cause. and if you're up to it, like, go for it. and if you're able to. donate, just go for it. i personally donate my own money on my own time for, like, stjude's or whatever, but i typically will never donate in the store. but for maria, whose family has felt the impact micro—donations can have, they can only be a positive thing. by make—a—wish giving us that moment, it brought us together at a family at the most crucial time of ellie's journey, and that's something we'll never forget. sophie long, bbc news, london. you have been in touch. margaret in antrim said she does not use them because they are not for the charity she supports. someone else said it is a good thing and gives them a chance to give a little too great causes. simon in somerset although he says they are a good thing, he feels there is a lack of transparency. and tamsin in london said, i don't need a guilt trip every time i pay evermore for food and products. i donate every month to a chosen charity already. someone said they do not do it, not because they have an objection to giving, but they want to gift aid their donations and if they do it through a micro—donation they cannot have gift aid and the charity is losing out on 25% that could add up over time. thank you for your messages. always appreciated. always useful. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. let's find out what they have in store with gethin and

today to mark the 7th anniversary of the grenfell tower tragedy — a fire which claimed the lives of 72 people. the inquiry into the fire will be published in september. campaigners from grenfell united have called for a national oversight mechanism, which would ensure recommendations are implemented in the event of similar incident. but it's notjust grenfell. it's, you know... we've sat with members from the infected bloods inquiry. we're currently working with people from the covid bereaved families and united, calling for the government to implement the national oversight mechanism, so that people who experience these tragedies are not left after five, ten, 15 years trying to chase up themselves the recommendations that were made by thejudges. three of the horses which bolted through central london in april will take part in the king's birthday parade on saturday. tennyson, trojan and vanquish are said to have made "swift" recoveries before returning to service last month. five horses were spooked by construction rubble being dropped through a plastic tunnel. the other two horses are doing well and will return to duties soon. actress dame peggy ashcroft has been remembered with a blue plaque at her childhood home in south croydon. family and friends gatherd for the occasion in tirlemont road. dame peggy who died in 1991 at the age of 83, became the oldest person to win an oscar for best actress in a supporting role for passage to india, when she was 77. the great exhibition road festival in south kensington is back this weekend for its fifth year —

expertise in plant pathology let's take a look at the tubes now. district line and overground part suspended but a good service on other lines now onto the weather. good morning. not really feeling likejune at all, is it at the moment? low pressure firmly in charge. and, for the next few days, that means the risk of heavy thundery showers and some blustery winds as well. so for this morning, it's a bit of a grey, damp start, some brighter spells. but, as the day goes on, we're going to see a rash of heavy thundery showers spreading from the south west. hitand miss. but if you're caught in one, you'll certainly know about it. with those blustery winds feeling fresh again with highs of 18 celsius. now, the showers gradually recede eastwards and then, through the early hours, we will have a drier interlude and lows tonight down to around 8 celsius. so a fraction cooler compared to last night. tomorrow, pretty much a repeat performance. further thundery showers, feeling cool again with those gusty southwesterly winds. for sunday, less in the way of showers and then into next week, signs of high pressure building, hopefullyjust in time for the summer solstice on thursday. bye— bye. now back to naga and charlie. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. with only three weeks to go until the general election, bbc breakfast has invited the leaders of the seven main political parties to speak to us. earlier, we had reform uk's nigel farage with us. now we're joined by the leader of plaid cymru, rhun ap iorwerth. got it right the full, didn't we? never mind. i apologise. you enjoying this election campaign? very much so. i have enough energy, thankfully. you need energy in an action campaign like this. it is about making the most of those opportunities to

perspective, we can try to mould the kind of change that will happen in this election and making sure that labour is kept honest, if you like, kept in check. it will be very important, especially with

colleagues of keir i starmer in wales agree with us there needs to be a review of the way wales needs to be funded. wales want to make the case for change at westminster. they listen to keir starmer and then require. we cannot afford mps from wales being quiet. we have seen a number of mps for wales been cut and the voice of wales been cut and the voice of wales is diminished anyway. if mps will not stand up to keir starmer on theissue will not stand up to keir starmer on the issue of funding any weight or marker we are asking for the formula to be changed to a needs —based formula where it is decided by the treasury. if labour will not make that call, we need plaid cymru mps at the heart of decision—making. ii at the heart of decision—making. if you take on the needs —based formula, we have spoken to the iss, if you took on system it would not necessarily mean more funding for wales. , , , ., , wales. every study we have seen sun rests wales. every study we have seen suggests there

policing which we want. it would mean more money coming in for the delivery of policing and justice in wales. i just want to be careful balance. the instiitute for fiscal studies says it receives more than is spent on comparable services in england. it is not that straightforward. different parts of england have different settlements. london gets more money per head than wales. it is not a black—and—white situation. we have some of the poorest communities in the uk in wales. the legacy of deindustrialisation, that is why they need is higher and why the treasury needs to reflect that in the way it makes its decisions and why people watching in parts of england will also be watching that. why have you stop talking about independence? hate why have you stop talking about independence?—

election about making sure that within the context we are in now, within the uk, wales has a fair crack at their wit. when we called full fare funding to provide fairness for the nhs families and communities in wales, that is the message. i never take my eyes of the prize. it is my job to get more people interested in it and taking those powers into my own hands. i it and taking those powers

take them by the hand and get them interested in potential. the report published recently, chaired by an eminent scientist and rowan williams, the former archbishop of canterbury. they made it clear that independence is a viable option for people of wales. what people feel about the risks and rewards. what the report said was they were very real risks in our current situation, not risks, they are the reality of being unable to remove the shackles of child poverty and move on from economic stagnation that has held wales back. wales can be than this. in stagnation that has held wales back. wales

general election debate as a whole and saying it feels very personal. party leaders are accusing each other of lying, party leaders accusing each other of a lack of trust. nigel farage an hour ago said and hour ago, he is more patriotic than you and all the party leaders. what do you make of that tone? you are front and centre, a party leader. it is that tone? you are front and centre, a party

implement and we should be held to account according to the language we use, the values we uphold and so on. what i will always try to do is focus on outcomes, focus on what we are trying to achieve.

to visit the seaside town of cleethorpes to ask holidaymakers whether they've still got the heating on. we have the heating on. we have, we certainly have, yes. ooh, yes, yes. yeah - — in the hotel last night it was on. you never know what to expect now, do you? it's just the winds, isn't it? absolutely terrible. no wonder everybody's going abroad for their holidays and this country can't get no money. we've just come from mablethorpe for the day — is it warmer down there? no. it may be sunny now, but you look at your weather app and the rain is always looming — day after day after day — and it never seems to stop. in fact, so far thisjune, we're three to five degrees colder than the average temperature. so, yes, it should feel warmer than this. so coffee rather than ice cream, at the moment? definitely, yes. thankfully, oliver's eatery has inside seating, and it was busy, too. the feelings here were the same. i didn't think there was any more rain left. well, you look out, you think it's more like october thanjune. absolutely fed up with it. it's so unpredicatable, you can't even have a barbecue. so i think it drags everybody down. and plus, now we've got the election on our hands as well, so everybody's depressed. if you don't mind the wet, then i'm sure you're ok. but for the rest of us, we'lljust have to grin and bear it. simon spark, bbc news. did he want to

figures to what has been happening so far this month. let's confirm how gene has been so far. as for the temperatures, roughly running across the country, by day and night, we are between one and four celsius below. this time of year, where the sun is strong, without it you do notice the difference. much more dull than normal. some have seen only a 3rd of june sunshine so far. climate change doesn't work like that. we will still get colder spells. over the last ten years we have had three times as many months warmer than normal than colder than normal. the balance is still with them is getting warmer than normal. let's look at what is about to happen over the next 24 to 36 hours. this area of low pressure keeps spring and summer update. it will be sitting with us on saturday and sunday. it will still feel rather cool. longer spells of rain in scotland with frequent showers in the last starting to develop further east. some sunshine between the showers. where showers come through they could be heavy and thundery. blustery top and tail of the country. that will make it feel especially cool. temperatures running what we would normally expect at this stage injune. the clear skies tonight mean it will be cold. still batches of showers coming through in parts of england and wales especially. where there are clearer spells temperatures will drop further. into the weekend, saturday. low pressure is on top of us. the showers close to that will be slow—moving. frequent showers heavy and thundery. blustery towards the south and east. the showers will battle through quickly. longer spells of rain in parts of wales later. the west of scotland and northern ireland if showers compared with what we will see in the morning. as full sunday it looks like longer spells of rain, sunshine and elsewhere. maybe something drier in the southeast next week. gage and elsewhere. maybe something drier in the southeast next week.— in the southeast next week. gave us a

considered to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time — claiming 20 grand slam singles titles, including a record eight wimbledon trophies — during an impressive 24—year career. he's also remembered for the fierce rivalries with fellow giants of the game — rafael nadal, novak djokovic and andy murray — the big four. two years ago, federer hung up his racquet and retired from playing competitively — but he's still a favourite among fans. he's been talking to sally about a new documentary which follows the final days of his career. i think it definitely hit me maybe i was going to become emotional at the very end, even though i did feel i was solid, you know, through the interviews and everything. even through the game i was super relaxed. i don't know. at the end, it was just, ok, this is it. you know, kind of, what happens next? don't, honestly. i just thought, anyway. the look is good. thank you. the look is good. roger federer, welcome to bbc breakfast. thank you. you talk about when you were a ball kid in the film and you had a dream. yeah. basically. good times. yes. and that ball kid's dream came true. yes. now, i look back on when the players play, you know, french open. i was watching roland garros last week a little bit, and i see the guys playing. i'm like, "wow, they're so good." and i used to do that, too. it's... i feel so distant already towards my career. i start forgetting the things i've done, the records and where i've been and what i've... you know, i don't know. it's more of a beautifuljust past i see on the road. right. soi... i don't know. it's been a great life, you know. when people talk about you as a player, we hear, "elegance" and "grace" and "he makes it look easy". but grit is the thing that you wanted to talk about. do you think sometimes people forgot about that? totally. absolutely, they did. you know, they only saw, ok, it's so easy for roger, so elegant. the guy doesn't train and he shows up and hejust wins it all, you know? but it's not the way it is. and i think for me, that was very... that was a bit complicated because i... so what? i have to pretend to fight. i have to pretend to show grit. for me, the only way to show it is to, like, win five—setters, to win three—setters overcome injury. but effortless is a myth, as we now know. and you said you don't want to be a stranger. to the game. tricky because you need to have a purpose when you come to a tennis event. you can'tjust show up. very quickly the players go, what are you doing? i'm here watching tennis. he would do that? —— who would do that? i'm like, well, i like tennis. that doesn't fly. what might be your purpose for when you go back? would it be commentary, coaching, mentoring? actually, i got a fright here in london. maybe commentary would be a thing i would be interested in. then one british journalist was like, you're happy to be supercritical? i'm like, what? to be honest, right. i'lljust say it how i see it. honest is good. oh, my god! here i am, slashing every player and talking. no, no. then i got a fright. i don't want to do commentary any more. we have to talk about andy murray, who i know you're incredibly close to. he's a similar sort of place to maybe you were. what words of advice can you give him? this is so deeply personal. retirement, at that moment of when you take that decision, how you do that decision, everybody's in a completely different circumstance, family life, body wise, mentally, whatever the state is. so this is where only himself and his closest people can give advice. i hope andy, like novak, like rafa, can hopefully keep on playing forever, like a fan. i see it that way. so we'll see. do you, though? yes. don't you think that there's a point where you just have to say... of course you do, but still you want to see them out there because the tour is better with them than without them. umpire: game, set| and match, federer! i hope also i can go to wimbledon again this year. actually, the kids have been chasing. like, we want to go back to wimbledon. like, really. walk around and live that wimbledon life. in the film, we see the boys both wearing arsenal shirts. first of all, how did that come about? the boys were coming back from soccer practice, football practice. and they walk through the elevator. i look at them and then they are wearing their arsenaljerseys. i think i say in the film, where is the fc basel shirt? you know, that is what my favourite club is. the arsenal jerseys, they have just received shortly from thierry henri, who is a good friend of mine. we've been on vacation together, he's a really good friend of ours. he was the one set gave us the arsenal jerseys. here they walked through the door in the arsenal kit. i note that thierry doesn't know about it. i know when he will see the film, he'll be like... that shirts also, so good. good presents. that's how it all came about. and will you all be watching the euros? i will be watching the euros. i mean, i've been watching roland garros. i'm going to be watching wimbledon, the euros, the olympics. as a sports fan, this is the time to be alive. i've got this vision now of roger federer at home with a giant tv, remote control, bag of crisps, trackies on, no exercise. just watching sports. lager. tell me that's going to happen. we'll see in a year when i walk in here how i look like. no, but i'll follow the euros. in here how i look like. i'm actually very excited about it. in here how i look like. that's brilliant. in here how i look like. thank you so much. in here how i look like. absolutely. in here how i look like. thank you. in here how i look like. i in here how i look like. cannot see it, i cannot see that i cannot see it, i cannot see him that relaxed. no. there is a lot to look forward to, isn't there? we've heard from two party leaders this morning, and we've been discussing what the two main political parties are offering — but how have those pledges gone down with voters? nina is at leigh market in greater manchester for us. morning, nina. he area, this. you know it well, you have spoken politics in this area before, the last election.
