He fights back to Beatjohn Higgins and become only the fourth man in the modern era to successfully defend a world title. And carol has the weather. Good morning. Again today we are looking at a fair bit of cloud coming in across the east of the uk, accompanied a noticeable breeze. There will be a few showers, but for many of us it will be dry. There will be some sunny spells, the lions share of which will be again gcioss lions share of which will be again across the north west of the uk. I will have more details 15 minutes. Inis minutes. Good morning. First, our main story there has been further fallout from last weeks talks on brexit between theresa may and European Commission president jean Claude Juncker. Senior eu sources have told the bbc that the uk government is on a completely different wavelength. They have also accused it of being ignorant of how brussels works, and misunderstanding the fundamentals of brexit negotiations. Theresa may has already dismissed reports of a disagreement with eu officials as brussels gossip. Our Political Correspondent chris mason is in westminster. Chris, this appears to be trouble, even before talks have begun. There are our talks about the talks. There are our talks about the talks. There was a dinner party in Downing Street last week at which jean Claude Juncker, the head street last week at which jean claudejuncker, the head of the European Commission, the eus executive, was invited over by theresa may. Now im sure you are the model of discretion after a dinner party and would not utter a word of complaint about a dodgy creme brulee but what we have about this dinner party is an extraordinary series day after day of briefings from the European Commission about what they thought went on at the meeting, and how depressed they were at the gap between their outlook on these negotiations and theresa mays. Suggesting that she was from a different galaxy, on a different wavelength, didnt understand their bottom lines about what they would be unwilling to negotiate on, issues including eu nationals in the uk, uk nationals elsewhere in the eu, the Divorce Settlement will the uk may have to pay, the trade talks which will follow on in what order they will follow on in what order they will happen in. So in a real sense, before the whole thing even get started, there is quite a bit of bad blood and a big gap between the two sides. And lets talk about the Campaign Trailas sides. And lets talk about the Campaign Trail as well. Labour today are talking about more Police Officers, arent they . Yes, so the Campaign Trundles on in the domestic sense as you would expect it to do, with promises from the various parties, labour saying they would have an extra 10,000 Police Officers in england and wales, paid for by reversing cuts in Capital Gains tax that the government has pressed ahead with. Here is the shadow home secretary. What local Police Forces have cried out for is more manpower in the metropolitan Police Forces. They have cut Police Numbers, they have cut civilian staff, and in practice that means there are fewer actual policeman available. I think Police Forces will be very grateful for this added police manpower, and it is going to be community policing. The conservatives, though, in their response say that labours plant is nonsensical, and suggest that labour have tried to spend the money from reversing that tax cut already. Thank you very much indeed, we will be speaking with you throughout the morning. Later we will be speaking to the home secretary, amber rudd. That is at around 7 10am. Police are continuing to search for two suspects after a man was shot dead in his home in the early hours of yesterday morning. 61 year old guy hedger was killed by intruders in the village of st ives, in dorset. 0ur correspondent Simon Clemison is at the scene. Simon, what more are the police saying . Very good morning to you. Well, they have been talking very much about what motivated this, they believe. We are in a very wealthy area on the edge of the new forest, in a village, as you can see, with lots of very big and expensive houses set out from the road. So why this one in particular . It is very early stages in the police investigation, but they do believe the fact that jewellery and designer watches were taken means jewellery and designer watches were ta ken means that jewellery and designer watches were taken means that guy hedgers house was targeted specifically. There was some element of planning in this. The intruders seemed ready to confront someone. They wore balaclavas, they clearly carried a shotgun, so police are working on the theory that this was a burglary which turned violent, but it could be some days of searching the scene here before they really know all the details. We believe that guy hedger formed a Civil Partnership 12 years ago. There was a man, another man in the house at the time. He is said to have seen what happened, the very traumatised by it. Police not confirming his identity yet, but he isa confirming his identity yet, but he is a witness to it. The weapon has still to be recovered. So lots of lines for the police to follow up this morning, and in the coming days, in what is described as a very intensive investigation. Thank you very much, we will speak to you a little bit later on. A surfer who went missing off the scottish coast has been rescued after more than 30 hours clinging to his board. Matthew bryce was reported missing by his family when he didnt return from a surfing trip in argyll on sunday afternoon. He was eventually picked up 13 miles off the coast, still conscious but suffering from hypothermia. Just after 6 30am we will be getting the latest from the coastguard, which helped co ordinate the rescue operation. You would never think, after that long in the water, that he could survive. I think a wetsuit, and lots of other things he did to keep himself going as well. Us President Donald Trump has said he would be honoured to meet north Korean Leader kimjong un, in the right circumstances. Mr trump made his comments amid continuing tensions surrounding pyongyangs nuclear programme. The white house later said such talks were unlikely in the near future. Lending by family and friends to help Fund Property purchases will exceed £6. 5 billion this year, 30 more than last year, according to new research. Legal general, which compiled the figures, said the so called bank of mum and dad was now equivalent to the ninth biggest Mortgage Lender in the uk. George osborne starts his newjob as editor of the london newspaper the Evening Standard today. The former chancellor was a Surprise Appointment, with some criticising his lack of journalistic experience. Mr osborne stepped down last month as Conservative Mp for tatton, in cheshire. 0ur Media Editor amol rajan reports. A p pa re ntly apparently the party of the year took place last night. A host of celebrities turned out in their finest for what has been described as the party of the year, the met gala. The annual charity ball is held at new Yorks Metropolitan Museum of art, to raise money for the museums fashion department. It is an exclusive event, with tickets costing Tens Of Thousands of dollars, and a flamboyant dress code. 0ur reporter nada tawfik reports. It is the hottest invite on new yorks social calendar, and the biggest night in fashion, which draws out only the stars. Stepping onto the met gala red carpet is to enter a runway, but one with a very specific theme. This year, the met costu me specific theme. This year, the met Costume Institute is honouring a japanese designer who famously blurs the line between fashion and artwork. She isnt so much out of the box, with her, the risk no box. And she did that so early on. When she started, you would never believe fashion could be as influential and as powerful as music. Well, it is. You know, a lot of people saying how do you wear that . You dont wear those clothes. The clothes where you. Sleeves need not apply, and these are a few of her signatures. And the bravest dress the part. The met all is not the place to play it safe and that unspoken rule, combined with this unconventional designs contribution, has led to a night of unique looks. As you said, i think some of the clothes where you. Wear you. Apple, blue ivy, Saint The Entertainment World has given us some interesting baby names over the years, and it seems new parents cheryl and liam payne are the latest to look for something out of the ordinary for their recent arrival. Some of this mornings newspapers are reporting that the couple have named their five week old son bear. According to the newspaper, the pop stars spent a week with the baby before deciding on the name. But cheryl and liam may not have picked such an unusual name, after all, as actresses kate winslet and Alicia Silverstone both have sons named bear. There is a famous bear, the famous mr grylls. Maybe they like a bit of out and about living. And we will have the weather from carol shortly. A wonderful weekend of sport, wasnt it . We had boxing, all the football going on. All the football, chelsea and tottenham. A lot of the football was a bit dull, but snooker yesterday there was an article yesterday there was an article yesterday suggesting it was the dullest day of an elite football ever. They did some analysis and said it was mildly beaten by one day in 2016. Topped off with a remarkable win by mark selby. Brilliant stuff, and what a dramatic comeback. Mark selby is the snooker World Champion for a third time. The world number one came back from 10 4 down to beat john higgins by 18 15. He becomes only the fourth man in the modern era to successfully defend a world title. One of the goals of the season from emre can helps liverpools chances of reaching the Champions League. This stunning strike was enough to beat watford last night. Real madrid play city rivals atletico in the Champions League semi final first leg tonight. It is a repeat of last years final, which real won on penalties. And good news for england cricket fans ahead of next months champions trophy. On his return from injury, Ben Stokes Hit a century in the Indian Premier League. So we will be talking about that bit more later on. Some more action from the Indian Premier League at about 6 30 a. M. I will be back with the rest of the days sports news. Any other date the goal from emre can would lead, but mark selbys performance put him ahead. We will do the Papers Injust performance put him ahead. We will do the papers in just a performance put him ahead. We will do the Papers Injust a moment, after a reminder of the headlines. You are watching breakfast from bbc news. The main stories this morning claims brexit negotiations have stalled already, as eu sources tell the bbc talks could fail because of the British Government position. The hunt continues for two suspects after the murder of a Marketing Executive shot in his home on bank monday morning. Steph hasjoined us as steph has joined us as well, Steph Hasjoined us as well, good morning to you once again. The front cover of the Daily Telegraph has loads of pictures of the charlotte, taken by her mother, the duchess of cambridge, to mark the princesss second birthday, and most of the papers also going on the main story about the eu plot to block theresa mays deal on expats and various connotations of the relationship between britain and the eu. The front page of the times, again possess charlotte, and the Car Finance Market could be heading for mis selling scandal, and they are reporting concerns about reliance on debt to buy vehicles. The daily mirror, a completely different story, actually, about spanish hoteliers which could ban british tourists because apparently there has been a huge rise in bogus Food Poisoning claims. The front cover of the daily mail, again princess charlotte, exploited by a cash for eggs ivf clinics. And the guardian, they all have different lines about they all have different lines about the meeting betweenjean Claude Juncker and theresa may. We will talk about that later in the programme. We will also talk about Personal Space shortly. There has been a row this morning about it. What else have you got in your papers . Let me tell you my stories, good morning everybody. I know this is one you are interested in. The bank of mum and dad. This is how much parents help people to get onto the Housing Ladder and there are new stats from legal and general. They are saying the scale of lending helps fund 26 of all uk Property Transactions, which actually puts it on par with the yorkshire building society, so if it were a bank, it would make it the ninth biggest residential lender in the uk. And It Isa Residential Lender in the uk. And it is a whacking amount of money, £6. 5 billion has been handed out to children to help them buy a house, it has gone up 30 in the last year. The most mum and dad S Land Interest free . The most mum and dad S Land Interest free . That is a good question, they shouldnt, but. There is a difference, isnt that . Pay it back over 50 years. It is interesting how much they have to help people get into the bottom rung of the latter, it is so expensive to buy your first house. And that sort of cash makes a difference. Those in charge of athletics suggest old world and european records before 2005 should be wiped clean because they have been keeping your end samples Urine Samples but there were none before 2005. So those include Paula Radcliffe and others. We need to wipe the slate clean because we cannot be sure that any record set before 2005 has not been helped by performance enhancing drugs. 0h. We should start again. Paula radcliffe said this isjust another way clean athletes are being punished by cheaters. And Daniel Edwards said he knew his record would go, but he did not think it would go, but he did not think it would go, but he did not think it would go this way. The times, the writer, says this needs to happen, because we need more trust, we need to wipe the slate clean and start again. Personal space. How far away do we like to be in britain . A p pa re ntly do we like to be in britain . Apparently one metre between strangers. 50 centimetres foreclose people, 80 for acquaintances. What about us . I dont think we are too close. On average, this is how far away we like to be. Here . Right . Any closer and i would be having a meltdown. You dont like people up in your space . You are right up there. Back off 21 centimetres is that all we are allowed . There is no space, is there . We need a bigger camera. Where is carol . She is over there somewhere. Good morning. Camera. Where is carol . She is over there somewhere. Good morninglj camera. Where is carol . She is over there somewhere. Good morning. I am hundreds of miles away. What does that say a chilly start to the day. A touch of frost around. Fog as well. For most, it will be dry and bright in the morning. 0nce well. For most, it will be dry and bright in the morning. Once again today, the lions share of the sunshine like yesterday will be in the north west of the uk. With this onshore flow, we will get cloud in Eastern Areas. The breeze on the coast will feel nippy if you are calling for a stroll later on. Inland, a lot of dry weather. Going for us. A few more showers developing in Eastern Areas. Some sunshine in the south west. 15 degrees in plymouth. The south east, east anglia, the midlands, yorkshire, lincolnshire, showers. Wales, north west england, Northern Ireland, much of scotland again, away from the east, a fine day and afternoon in prospect. Staying dry and temperatures hitting up. Not necessarily reaching 20 degrees. Some of the showers go towards east wales and the South West Of England. They will tend to fade. The low countries will bring more rain. A lot of dry weather around tonight. Under Clearer Skies where it has been warm by day, it will be cold at nightjust like been warm by day, it will be cold at night just like yesterday been warm by day, it will be cold at nightjust like yesterday in the nightjust like yesterday in the nightjust like yesterday in the nightjust gone. Showers in the south east. More cloud. Still, this breeze. West and north, the lions share of the sunshine. You can see Cloud Building in the afternoon. Temperatures roughly 15 in the north. 11 13 as we go towards the south east. Continuing with the forecast as we head on through thursday and the rest of the week, if it is a lot of rain you are looking for, you will be disappointed. We dont have much in the forecast. There is still an easterly breeze going around the area of high pressure. If you are exposed to it, still quite nippy. Some cloud thick enough for the odd shower here and there. A lot of dry weather, especially in the north and west. No substantial rain in the forecast right the way up until sunday at least. Taking a look at friday, again, some breeze. A lot of dry weather. The odd shower. Nothing much more than that. Towards the west again, sunny skies. Temperatures, 13 111. A little bit higherfurther south. A temperatures, 13 111. A little bit higher further south. A 16 in london. Back to you. Thank you very much. Standing in the middle of the north sea, the brent field has been a cornerstone of the uks oil and Gas Production for over four decades. Now, one of the fields four Iconic Platforms has been decommissioned. Breakfastsjohn maguire is live at its final resting place, the able seaton port in hartlepool. What a day. Good morning. An amazing day and view. A bit chilly. That is not the rig. We wanted to show you it because we wanted to give you an idea of the scale. That is 111,000 times. Brent delta, 211,000. 50 bigger. It will come in on the high tide tonight brought in by a huge barge called The Iron Lady which will turn 19 degrees and sail up the water here to arrive at the new piece of concrete, the new quay being built specifically to handle the salvage and death of brent delta. An extraordinary few days of engineering. So far, so good. A decade in the planning, butjust seconds in the execution, as the topside, as it is known, is lifted off brent delta, and onto the Worlds Largest constructions ship. It was built exactly for mammoth tasks like this. 380 metres long and 124 metres wide across two hulls, it is the size of an 0lympics worth of pitches and buses. The captain of the ship says his is a dream job, as i spoke to him. It is one of the dreams to be the captain of a ship like this. This is as big as you can get. The brent field, more than 100 miles east of the shetlands, has been producing oil since the 1970s. During its peak, hussey Million Barrels a day. Now, the oilfield is coming to the end of its economic life, and these monoliths are being decommissioned. Itself, a massive job. The north sea in particular is a very harsh environment. They are very large integrated platforms. It would be different to the southern north sea and shallow basins around the world. They are heavier and more difficult to decommission. It is a process that will be worth at least £40 billion in the years ahead, but it is not without challenges. Shell, which operates the oilfield, says it learned lessons from the furore from the scrapping of the Storage Facility in the 1990s. Deltas three concrete legs will remain in place because it is too dangerous and expensive to remove them. We will see 100 decommissioned in the coming yea rs see 100 decommissioned in the coming years as these giants, once so vital to the brent field, are brought ashore to die. The estimate is they will recycle 98. 5 of the topside, which seems extraordinary. But that is what they specialise in here at able seaton port. Duncan, how would you characterise what has been achieved in the past few days . It is the culmination of five years of planning and preparation to lift the brent delta and transport it on the Pioneering Spirit to load it on The Iron Lady barge to conduct the decommissioning in able seaton port. . That happened at 3am this morning. We assume it went well. Many people can see the platform off the coast. But the legs will stay in position in the north sea. Is that a good idea . That is the plan. After ten yea rs of idea . That is the plan. After ten years of study, looking at the various Engineering Options to take these away, to put it into context, while the Brent Delta Topside is 24,000 tons, these legs are almost 300,000 tons. Enormous structures. We looked at the options to refloat and remove them, but the costs is absolutely enormous. We feel that leaving them there is the right thing to do. Three other platforms. 0ne thing to do. Three other platforms. One is still producing. Charlie. That is right. You plan to decommission those. Where are we with the plans to do that . All of this is strictly and tightly controlled, of course. We have seen a robust scheme in the uk we have just had a 60 day Public Consultation. We are in the process of taking those comments on board from stakeholders and members of the public to have had the opportunity to look at this. We have responded to look at this. We have responded to comments. After that, the next phase. Replying to the Oslo Paris Convention in which we are signatories to look at if we can leave those legs in place. When well all four egon . This is a multi year operation. Brent charlie will continue to produce for a few yea rs. Will continue to produce for a few years. The other is offshore. With brent delta, and we are not forgetting that brent alpha is in a phase of isolating it from the surface. We will prepare brent bravo for lifting. After that, we are not forgetting that there are offshore operations conducting right now on all other three platforms. Thank you very much indeed. There is still a lot of work and money to be spent in the years ahead. Before we go back, we had a couple of little seals that came to visit us this morning. A nice sight. But in terms of man made engineering, it has been a good site for the people in hartlepool, and will continue to be so for the rest of the day, and it sounds like it will be so for months and years to come. What a Beautiful Day to be out and about. Live seals you bbc news. Are watching breakfast still to come this morning Festival Season is fast approaching, but how about this for a gig with a difference . Weve been out with the folk singers who hold woodland concerts with britains most celebrated songbird, the nightingale. That sounds absolutely amazing. They sing with them . He you know that song, nightingale . Do you know. It is on dear, heather, the album. Time now to get the news, travel, and weather, where you are. Good morning from bbc london news. Im katharine carpenter. The federation of Master Builders has called on the next government to guarantee Construction Firms have enough skilled workers after brexit. The Fmb Say In London alone, more than half the Building Industries workforce is made up of non uk nationals. They claim an inflexible Immigration System will hinder the delivery of much needed housing and infrastructure. 0ne boy is in a Life Threatening Condition and another is stable after a house fire in essex.

The countrys First Community owned pub is finally turning a profit, proving its possible to buck the trend of pubs closing at a rate of one a week in london. The ivy house, near peckham, offers baby dance classes, yoga, and knitting groups, as well as the traditional pint. Following its success, 74 other pubs have adopted the model. We are at last sort of turning a profit. It is only one at this stage. But it is getting there. It is not plain sailing, everything will be unique. But it can be done. Lets have a look at the Travel Situation now. Lets have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. Hello. Good morning. A day to get out and about, with the best of the brightness first thing. High level cloud making things hazy. For most of us, a largely dry and bright start. Cloud building into the afternoon. Still a few brighter intervals. The potentialfor heavy showers in the afternoon. Highs of 17 degrees. Prolonged spells of sunshine. This evening, a few showers. Increasingly dry. Clear spells for a time. Cloud thickening up spells for a time. Cloud thickening up from the east courtesy of the next band of rain moving in from the east. Eight degrees overnight. Wednesday. The band of rain goes towards the west. Wednesday will be fairly cloudy. 0utbreaks towards the west. Wednesday will be fairly cloudy. Outbreaks of rain. Temperatures struggling slightly with cloud around. Highs of 30 degrees with a north easterly breeze. Thursday is looking fairly cloudy. 13. A front goes south bringing patchy outbreaks of rain at times and again largely cloudy although temperatures are struggling slightly. I will leave you with the outlook. It will be fairly cloudy for the next few days with a chilly north easterly breeze and temperatures slightly struggling. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now, though, its back to bbc breakfast. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. It is 6 30am. We will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. But also on breakfast this morning with two thirds of adults in england now overweight or obese, we will be asking the boss of britains biggest Food Retailer if supermarkets should be doing more to help tackle the problem. He claims the average uk household will be £500 worse off this year than last. We will be asking former deputy Prime Minister nick clegg to back up his brexit figures in about an hours time. And she always has a smile for the public, but a new biopic explores a more Melancholy Side to barbara windsors life. We will speak to one of the actresses who play her before the end of the programme. All that still to come. But now a summary of this mornings main news there has been further fallout from last weeks talks on brexit between theresa may and European Commission president jean Claude Juncker. Senior eu sources have told the bbc that the uk government is on a completely different wavelength. They have also accused it of being ignorant of how brussels works, and misunderstanding the fundamentals of brexit negotiations. Theresa may has already dismissed reports of a disagreement with eu officials as brussels gossip. 0ur Political Correspondent chris mason is in westminster. Good morning to you. So the pre talks about talks that will happen at some stage. There is a lot of talking going on. There is a lot of talking going on. There is a lot of talking going on. I know you are a keen student of commentaries of a sporting kind, well these are commentaries of a political kind in the curious thing is we were told by Downing Street ever since theresa may has been Prime Minister that there wouldnt be a Running Commentary on brexit. Well, we neednt have worried because there is certainly a Running Commentary coming from brussels on brexit. Jean Claude Juncker came to Downing Street for that dinner party with theresa may last week and ever since there have been accounts tumbling out of the mouths of sources in brussels giving their side of the story about that dinner party, and suggesting, frankly, that Downing Street and brussels are 1 million miles apart in terms of their outlook on these forthcoming negotiations. Worth emphasising, yes, this is a partial account from one side. Downing street claims the meeting was constructive, and There Isa Meeting was constructive, and there is a huge amount at stake at the moment for both sides to try and get a deal and with big elections in the european union, in germany, in front and of course here in the uk. And quite a bit of electioneering going on as well. We will be speaking to nick clegg, amber road and diane abbott, and labour promising more money for Police Officers amber rudd. Diane abbott will be talking about an extra 10,000 Police Officers in england and wales if labour were to be in government after the General Election. They point to the fact that Police Officer numbers have tumbled in recent yea rs officer numbers have tumbled in recent years and they think that they could pay for this by reversing a cut in Capital Gains tax that the conservatives have pushed through in the last couple of years. The conservatives say that labour are trying to spend money twice, having suggested in the past that they would use the money generated by tweaking that tax to spend on other stuff, and you can only spend every pound ones. Nick clegg, as you say you will be talking to him later on brea kfast. You will be talking to him later on breakfast. He will be suggesting that a so called hard brexit, coming out of the Single Market and the Customs Union, will be hard for hard working families. As for the Prime Minister, she heads to the South West Of England today and will be having a pop at the Liberal Democrats. Quite a few seats in the south west used to be held by the lib dems and were snatched by the tories in 2015. Theresa may rather keen to ensure that that doesnt happen in reverse next month. Thank you, for the moment. Another heavy day of campaigning ahead. And we will be speaking to nick clegg about 8 10 a. M. Actually, 7 40 a. M. , i should read my sheet police are continuing to search for two suspects after a man was shot dead in his home in the early hours of yesterday morning. 61 year old guy hedger was killed by intruders in the village of st ives, in dorset. Detectives say it was a targeted attack. A surfer who went missing off the scottish coast has been rescued after more than 30 hours clinging to his board. Matthew bryce was reported missing by his family when he didnt return from a surfing trip in argyll on sunday afternoon. He was eventually picked up 13 miles off the coast, still conscious but suffering from hypothermia. In just a few minutes we will be getting the latest from the coastguard, which helped co ordinate the rescue operation. Us President Donald Trump has said he would be honoured to meet north Korean Leader kimjong un, in the right circumstances. Mr trump made his comments amid continuing tensions surrounding pyongyangs nuclear programme. The white house later said such talks were unlikely in the near future. Lending by family and friends to help Fund Property purchases will exceed £6. 5 billion this year, 30 more than last year, according to new research. Legal general, which compiled the figures, said the so called bank of mum and dad was now equivalent to the ninth biggest Mortgage Lender in the uk. George osborne starts his newjob as editor of the london newspaper the Evening Standard today. The former chancellors appointment drew criticism from 0pposition mps, who called on him to quit politics. Mr osborne stepped down as Conservative Mp for tatton, in cheshire, last month, a seat which is due to be abolished at the next election. He will edit the paper four days a week. Cats might well have nine lives, but Moggy Miracle worker scott derben took no chances when he saw a feline in danger. Video footage showing the dock worker coming to the rescue of felix, the londons royal docks office cat, has gone viral after it was posted online over the weekend. Felix was fighting with another cat when she slipped and fell in the canal. Scott rushed to his rescue, and clambered over the dock to pull her out of the water. Typically, though, scott got very little appreciation from the cat, who just walked off. That is why you always go dog of a cat, dont you . You know for a fact that if you were in trouble are dog would lie next to you until you are safe. A cat would consider eating you. You know it is true. They are weak, iam you. You know it is true. They are weak, i am hungry, you. You know it is true. They are weak, iam hungry, iam having a nibble. There are nice cats. Here is one right here i am a dog person, despite being called kat. Im sure this debate will rage all morning, and there will be all kinds of backlash for you on twitter from the cat people, they are out to get you. The cat lobby, bring it on. What about snooker . What a final. Sunday he was 10 4 down, no one has come back from that kind of deficit since 1985. I was reading up on my historic snooker faq s. John higgins is granite, and he is referred to as the torture because he has a Stone Cold Ability to block Everything Out facts. Mark selby is the World Snooker champion for a third time. The world number one beat john higgins by 18 15. Selby had been trailing 10 4 at one point, but he dominated mondays play to successfully defend his world title. He becomes only the fourth man in modern era to do so. Very special. I mean, to sort of get over them two wins and be sitting at three world titles out there on my own is unbelievable, really. And like i say, to be only one of four players to defend it is just something i can only dream of. Liverpools chances of reaching the Champions League have been boosted by one of the goals of the season by emre can. The midfielder lit up a pretty uninspiring game with this incredible Overhead Kick at the end of the first half, which is definitely worth seeing again. Watford rarely threatened, but Sebastian Prodl missed a chance to snatch a point in stoppage time. Of course, we couldnt imagine that he would score a bicycle kick, or whatever, as they say. Actually the space on the run, what we did on the Training Pitch last week, so i am happy with the goal, four emre to do Something Like this is really nice, and it is a wonderful, wonderful result for us. Real madrid play neighbours atletico in their first leg of the Champions League semi finals tonight at the bernabeu. Cristiano ronaldo and teammates will be without gareth bale, who misses out through injury. The tie is a repeat of last seasons final, which real won on penalties. There is good news for england cricket fans ahead of next months champions trophy, as Ben Stokes Hit a century in the Indian Premier League on his return from injury. Stokes came in with his side, rising pune supergiant, in big trouble, but smashed 100 to take them to victory all that despite suffering from cramp. The england test captain didnt fare so well. Joe root was caught on 21, but his yorkshire side still beat traditional rivals lancashire in the 0ne day cup. England spinner adil rashid took two wickets. And finally, two footballers who appeared to forget which sport they were playing. Keep an eye near the halfway line. This tackle wouldnt have looked out of place in a rugby match. This happened in the Russian Premier League yesterday, between tom tomsk and zenit st petersburg. Afterwards, both players only received yellow cards. It is that spear tackle. It is a bit like stone cold steve austin. Exactly. Brutal. Iam going like stone cold steve austin. Exactly. Brutal. I am going to take a closer look at that in slow motion. Lucky to be alive that is how belfast coastguard have described a surfer who was rescued from the irish sea last night, after 30 hours clinging to his board. Matthew bryce was picked up 13 miles off the argyll coast, where he had been surfing on sunday, and flown to hospital, where he is recovering from hypothermia. Dawn petrie from the belfast coastguard is on the line for us now. Good morning to you. Thank you very much indeed forjoining us. So how amazing is this . He is in the water for 30 hours. Did you think you were going to find him . I know you are looking for him all over the place. Yes, we got the call initially from the police on monday, at lunchtime, to say he had gone missing on sunday. So we were a full body four hours behind in the search for him, but we instigated the large scale search, involving three lifeboats, five coastguard rescue teams, senior coastguard officers, and Rescue Helicopter from prestwick, coastguard officers, and Rescue Helicopterfrom prestwick, to thoroughly searched the area where we suspect he may have drifted. And his chance chances of survival, how would you describe what he went through and how he was still there, 30 hours later . He was very well prepared. He was a very fit gentleman, which aided his survivability. He stayed with the surfboard, which aided in detection, looking for him. He was also, because he was on the surfboard, he wasnt exposed to the Water Temperature so much and he had the correct wetsuit which kept his oddly temperature warmer than it would have been had hejust been in shorts and t shirt. Have been had hejust been in shorts and tshirt. So he sat on the board, did he, is that what you understand he was doing . Yes, we understand he was out for a surf and tried to get backin was out for a surf and tried to get back in again, we believe he suffered some cramps and just wasnt able to paddle against the tide, which thenjust able to paddle against the tide, which then just continually took him away from the shore. So incredible work done by all the Emergency Services and the coastguard to find him. How was he when you found him . When the helicopter picked him up he was conscious, he was talking to them. He was able to tell them what had happened to him, that he had gone out on the sunday, although he was suffering from hypothermia. And your advice to people, if ever that should happen, is stay with the board . Be well prepared before you even go out, let someone know where you are going and what time you expect to be back. Take a means of alerting someone with you, whether it bea alerting someone with you, whether it be a small flat pack, a hand held radio, even a mobile phone, so if you do get into difficulties uart able to raise the alarm. Amazing work by the body, thank you so much. Ijust i just cant ijust cant imagine what i just cant imagine what you ijust cant imagine what you are thinking hoping someone will spot you. The weather in a second. First, hartlepool. A gorgeous morning. Look at the sunrise. We are going to talk about decommissioning and taking apartan oil about decommissioning and taking apart an oil rig. Now for the weather. Look at this picture. Yesterday in north west scotland and Northern Ireland, the Highs Temperatures in the land, seeing the warmest days so far. Further south, this picture again, a Beautiful Sunrise in east sussex. Durham, not a bright start. A bit more cloud around. Mixed fortunes. Most of us will have dried and bright weather in the afternoon. A few showers developing. This will continue to go on through the rest of the day. 0ut towards the west, drier, fine, and blue skies to be had. Through the course of the morning, blue skies. Cloud drifting in from the cold north sea. The showers. Later in the day, they will get on to east wales in South West England. Four oclock, they will be dry in wales in the south west. Thicker cloud in the east. Inland, bright spells. Showers hit and miss. Northern ireland and much of scotland, another dry and fine day with a fair bit of sunshine and some cloud at times. 0vernight, the showers. Drifting towards west wales. East wales. The south coast. They will fade eventually. Another system they will fade eventually. Another syste m fro m they will fade eventually. Another system from the low countries introducing rain. For much of the uk, a dry note. Clear skies. Where it has been warmed by day, the temperature will drop quickly as it gets dark. Tomorrow morning, starting with rain in the south east. Not too heavy. It will start to break up and turn more showery. After a bright start in South West England and wales, the cloud will advance. Scotland and Northern Ireland once again i seen the sunshine for the longest. Temperatures tomorrow are roughly 15 16 temperatures tomorrow are roughly 15 16 degrees here and there. Through the course of the day with temperatures rising, if you are tempted to dip your toes in the sea, it is still quite cold. At best 11 degrees. You would be a brave person than me to do that. Absolutely. But you know me, i like to swim in the cold. You would have to wear a thick wetsuit and stay with your surfboard and Takea Wetsuit and stay with your surfboard and take a waterproof mobile phone. We have been talking about campaigning and what various parties are talking about they are wanting in their manifestoes. And our talking about what they want from the next government. The British Chambers Of Commerce has around 75,000 members employing five million people, so what it says tends to get the attention of the politicians. The bcc wants the next government to rule out any new Business Taxes during the next parliament. It says the existing ones are already putting a strain on too many firms. Businesses obviously rely on roads, rail and air to move goods and people around the country. So the bcc wants to see more investment in that. It also wants all businesses to have access to superfast broadband. And it wants more help for exporters. Chris fletcher is from the Greater Manchester chamber of commerce. Good morning. Good morning. So, lots of people are saying what they want to see from the next government. How realistic is this, what you want . To see from the next government. How realistic is this, what you wannm is very realistic. This manifesto was put through the whole network, both chambers of commerce. We have all played a part in this manifesto for the next government. It is quite interesting. A good number of things actually existed in the 2015 ma nifesto actually existed in the 2015 manifesto that came out of the last General Election. Things we are still waiting to see happen. Some have been around from the election before that as well. We are saying the government that now is the time to stop talking and get on with doing things for business. Now more than ever in these quite uncertain times. What are the pressures . We have seen more spending on infrastructure. We have seen a low corporation tax. What is the pressure you need changed . Those things are going in the right direction. But the danger is that you get to a certain adequate level, making upfor you get to a certain adequate level, making up for decades of under investment. I want to go for more than that. Speaking to our members, they still have difficulty getting onto broadband, mobile phone signals, and that is the future and where we want government to focus on. There has been a huge rise in the last several years over upfront taxes, like increases in business rates, enrolment, and other things like that. Business taxes, not on profits, but running a business. Depending on how profitable you are, businesses are still paying money before they have actually started to make anything and serve any customers. We are saying that enough is enough when it comes to that. All of this costs money, though. Where will that come from . There are obviously many pressures in society, like the nhs and people on student benefits. Why do businesses get it . It is not about being soft on business, but doing things that are. In Greater Manchester, we are having an election on devolving government. We need better use on this in the first instance. It is not about businesses having it easy. There is also evidence that if businesses had more money, if they paid fewer taxes, they actually invest that and employ more people and take advantage of economic conditions. And things, you know, they are uncertain, but they are moving in the right direction. We want other businesses in the uk to grow and expand on that. It ultimately means a better economy for the uk. Interesting. As part of my Election Table which we will start soon, we will tell the other businesses in the country about this. And that is it for me for now. Nightingales are britains most celebrated songbird but are under the threat of extinction. This year, as they return from migration to the woods and thickets of southern england, theyre being welcomed back by something a bit different. As part of the First National nightingale festival, folk singers are Holding Concerts in woodlands so they can duet with the warbling birds. We sent our arts correspondent, David Sillito, to see if the birds would sing on cue. Music. We are here in kent. We are gathered in anticipation of being led into the forest at dark to go and listen to the nightingales seeing. They are taking us Into The Woods to listen to and sing with nightingales in the dark, in the silence, done a lonely path into a forest, you find a stage. The most unlikely of auditoriums. But it is a stage. Is it worth me going down there . Absolutely. No one returns the same. The song of the nightingale. It is a fast disappearing wonder of the british countryside. Singing. In this nocturnal concert is just one of many taking place across the country, an attempt to reconnect us with what used to be the sound of spring. 0h, with what used to be the sound of spring. Oh, its amazing the nightingale, it is unparalleled in its virtuoso range. And it is dying out . They have declined by the 696 in the last couple of years. Of course, the last couple of years. Of course, the idea of Playing Music with a nightingale is not new. Beatrice harringtons Live Performances with them on the bbc were a sensation. But i was worried. The woods sounded very quiet. It is pouring with rain. I cannot see where my feet us. I there really nightingales here . Are. They are. You will hear them singing and it will grow louder and louder. Please, let it be true. Because we are without them right now. Cup your ears. Focus your hearing. Bird n0|ses. They are so loud, arent they . I didnt really believe you. There are several metres away. They are. Singing. Doesnt it feel odd to be here in the middle of the night sitting in a forest . No, not at all. It seems quite natural and quite perfect. The nightingale, they say. It is important to remember that once upon a time this would have been the soundtrack to our spring. Every fire, every homestead, you could just go out and listen to the nightingales. So, that little, damp thicket, and a wastes is of song. An oasis of song. Abc news, kent. Very calming. Calm voice . That was very soothing indeed. Time now to get the news, travel, and weather, where you are. Good morning from bbc london news. Im katharine carpenter. A report has criticised successive uk governments for not securing compensation for the victims of ira bombings. The Gaddafi Regime supplied the plastic explosives used in many of the ira bomb attacks, including the 1996 docklands bombing. The report from the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee says victims from the uk have been let down, while those from other countries have received millions in compensation as a result of their governments actions. 0ne boy is in a Life Threatening Condition and another is stable after a house fire in essex.

The ivy house, near peckham, offers baby dance classes, yoga, and knitting groups, as well as the traditional pint. Following its success, 74 other pubs have adopted the model.

And in islington, essex road remains closed northbound for water works at islington green. Lets have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. Hello. And good morning. A day to get out and about, with the best of the brightness first thing. High level cloud making things hazy. But for most of us, a largely dry and bright start. A bit more of Cloud Building into the afternoon. But still a few brighter intervals and sunny spells. But one or two showers around. The potential for heavy ones in the afternoon. Highs of 17 degrees. Prolonged spells of sunshine. This evening, a few showers. But it will become increasingly dry. Clear spells for a time. But we will then see Cloud Thickening Up from the east courtesy of the next band of rain moving in from the east. Eight degrees overnight. So, into wednesday, then. The band of rain goes towards the west. Wednesday will be fairly cloudy. A few outbreaks of rain. Temperatures struggling slightly with all that cloud around. Highs of 13 degrees with all that north easterly breeze. Thursday is looking fairly cloudy. A secluded front goes south bringing patchy outbreaks of rain at times and again largely cloudy although temperatures are struggling slightly. Ill leave you with the outlook. Itll be fairly cloudy through the next few days with a chilly north easterly breeze and those temperatures slightly struggling. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. A war of words over britains approach to brexit negotiations. Senior eu sources accuse the government of being on a completely different wavelength, and warn talks could fail altogether. Good morning, it is tuesday 2 may.

In sport a third Crucible Crown for mark selby. He fights back to Beatjohn Higgins, and become only the fourth man in the modern era to successfully defend a world title. And carol has the weather. Good morning. We are looking at another cloudy day across Eastern Areas, with a noticeable breeze accentuating the chilly field. Later we will see some showers in the east and across central parts of england. There will be a lot of dry weather as well, with sunny spells, the lions share of which will be across the north west of the uk. I will have more in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story there has been further fallout from last weeks talks on brexit between theresa may and European Commission president jean Claude Juncker. Senior eu sources have told the bbc that the uk government is on a completely different wavelength. They have also accused it of being ignorant of how brussels works and misunderstanding the fundamentals of brexit negotiations. Theresa may has already dismissed reports of a disagreement with eu officials as brussels gossip. 0ur Political Correspondent chris mason is in westminster. It might be being dismissed as gossip by theresa may, and we will speak to amber rudd about this issue as well but it is quite serious, isnt it, for those accusations to be coming back at the uk . Yes, it is quite serious because these negotiations, the nitty gritty hasnt got going yet. This is an opening discussion, talks, if you like, about the talks. A dinner Party Last Week at Downing Street forjean Claude Juncker, the lead quy forjean Claude Juncker, the lead guy from the European Commission, meeting theresa may. Not exactly the convention of the discreet thank you ca Rd Convention Of The Discreet thank you card and complement of how tender the beef was. Instead, day after day, a drip feed of commentary from the eus perspective about how the talks went on how in their view, the two backsides, brussels and london, are1 million miles about two backsides, brussels and london, are 1 million miles about these negotiations two sides. That is potentially tricky for theresa may, because these are going to be complicated negotiations in the coming months and years. Politically, in the short term, quite useful for conservatives here, who can make the ultimate that the talks will be tough, and use this as proof, and say that is why they wa nted proof, and say that is why they wanted a bigger majority as a result of the General Election. And labour specifically talking about Police Numbers today. Yes, we will hear from the shadow home secretary, diane abbott, about the promised of 10,000 additional Police Officers on the streets of england and wales under a labour government. They point to a tumbling in Police Numbers, or at least a reduction, point to a tumbling in Police Numbers, orat leasta reduction, in the last five, six or seven years. Now they say, labour, that they could pay for this by reversing changes in Capital Gains tax that the conservatives have pushed through. The conservatives say, hang ona minute, through. The conservatives say, hang on a minute, labourseems through. The conservatives say, hang on a minute, labour seems to have promised the use of this money for various other things they have talked about in the last couple of yea rs. Talked about in the last couple of years. They seem to be able to spend the same pound twice, which is of course impossible. When you look at what labour have said in the past, they have talked about how else they might use the money raised from changing this tax, but whether that amounts to something which is actually in their manifesto in the next couple of weeks we will have to wait and see. Always good to talk to you, thank you very much. Police are continuing to search for two suspects after a man was shot dead in his home in the early hours of sunday morning. 61 year old guy hedger was killed by intruders in the village of st ives, in dorset. 0ur correspondent Simon Clemison is at the scene. Simon, what line of enquiry are the Police Following . What more can you tell us . A very good morning to you, louise and dan. This is a very wealthy area on the edge of the new forest. There are a lot of big, expensive houses here. So why this one in particular has been a question for the police. It does seem that guy hedger was targeted specifically, because police now know thatjewellery targeted specifically, because police now know that jewellery and designer watches were taken. There does seem to have been some element of planning, that intruders were ready to confront someone. They were wearing a la clubbers and carrying a shotgun, so are targeted burglary which turned violent. But it could be some days before we really know all the details here. We believe that Guy Hedgerformed all the details here. We believe that guy hedger formed a Civil Partnership 12 years ago. There was another man in the house at the time, police have not confirmed his identity yet but he witnessed some of the events, he is deeply affected by that, there are weapons to recover, so lots of lines for police to cover here, in a murder of a man in an unlikely location. A surfer who went missing off the scottish coast has been rescued after more than 30 hours clinging to his board. Matthew bryce was reported missing by his family when he didnt return from a surfing trip in argyll on sunday afternoon. He was eventually picked up 13 miles off the coast, still conscious but suffering from hypothermia. He stayed with the surfboard, which aided in detection, looking for him. He was also, because he was on the surfboard, he wasnt exposed to the Water Temperature so much and he had the correct wetsuit which kept his oddly temperature warmer than it would have been had hejust been in shorts and t shirt. Us President Donald Trump has said he would be honoured to meet north Korean Leader kimjong un, in the right circumstances. Mr trump made his comments amid continuing tensions surrounding pyongyangs nuclear programme. The white house later said such talks were unlikely in the near future. George osborne starts his newjob as editor of the london newspaper the Evening Standard today. The former chancellor was a Surprise Appointment, with some criticising his lack of journalistic experience. Mr osborne stepped down last month as Conservative Mp for tatton, in cheshire. 0ur Media Editor amol rajan reports. George osborne is used to early starts and deadlines, but it will still have come as a shock when his alarm went at 4 00am this morning, ahead of his first day as a newspaper editor. The former chancellor has taken the editors chair of the Evening Standard, in one of the most surprising appointments in recent history. Many westminster observers initially believed he took the job to build a power base. But that theory was undermined when 0sborne announced that he would step down as an mp for tatten, in cheshire. With the Business Model under some pressure, there is probably relief among staff that mr osborne is no longer an mp for a northern constituency. But there is still an anxiety about his work for black rock, the Asset Manager in the city. Quite aside from the time commitment, it suggests a serious potential conflict of interest. His top priority today, other than a strong front page, will be to explain his vision for the paper to staff. 0sborne will leave parliament tomorrow, and his constituency will get a new mp in five weeks time. A host of celebrities turned out in their finest for what has been described as the party of the year, the met gala. The annual charity ball is held at new Yorks Metropolitan Museum of art to raise money for the museums fashion department. It is an exclusive event, with tickets costing Tens Of Thousands of dollars, and a flamboyant dress code. Nada tawfik was there. Just a warning that her report contains flash photography. It is the hottest invite on new yorks social calendar, and the biggest night in fashion, that draws out only the stars. Stepping onto the met gala red carpet is to enter a runway, but one with a very specific theme. This year, the met Costume Institute is Honouring Japanese designer rei kawakubo, who famously blurs the line between fashion and artwork. Rei isnt so much out of the box. For rei, there is no box, and she did that so early on. When rei started, you would never believe fashion could be as influential and as powerful as music. Well, it is. You know, a lot of people say, like, how do you wear that . You dont wear those clothes, those clothes wear you. Sleeves need not apply, and Cotton Candy Hair and face coverings are just a few of kawa kubos signatures. And the bravest dress the part. The met ball is not the place to play it safe. And that unspoken rule, combined with this unconventional designers contribution, has led to a night of unique looks. Amazing outfits. Apple, blue ivy, Saint The Entertainment World has given us some interesting baby names over the years, and it seems new parents cheryl and liam payne are the latest to look for something out of the ordinary for their recent arrival. Some of this mornings newspapers are reporting that the couple have named their five week old son bear. According to the newspaper, the pop stars spent a week with the baby before deciding on the name. But cheryl and liam may not have picked such an unusual name, after all, as actresses kate winslet and Alicia Silverstone both have sons named bear. There you go. The Prime Minister has described it as brussels gossip, the reports this weekend that brexit talks with eu officials had broken down before they had even begun. But senior eu sources have expressed frustration to the bbc about britains approach to the talks. It comes after theresa may was accused of being ignorant of how eu politics works in negotiating a brexit deal. So have brexit negotiations stalled before they have even started . The home secretary, amber rudd, joins us now from our london newsroom. Good morning to you. Thank you very much forjoining us on breakfast this morning. So according to eu sources who have spoken to the bbc, you were on a different wavelength when it comes to brexit. How damaging is this with negotiations ongoing, and likely to be ongoing for quite sometime . Well, i dont see it in that light. The fact is we have always said these are going to be difficult negotiations. We dont underestimate that, but we have a plan, we know what we are doing, we know what our priorities are. What this really demonstrates is how important it is to have theresa may at the helm, to give the strong leadership and make sure we can engage in those negotiations and we need negotiations in the National Interest. There doesnt seem to be any denial that there are these issues. Do you. Well, once you start engaging in gossip and tittle tattle in this way, it carries on, and who knows where it will be . We have our plan, we are entering into these negotiations in good faith. We have our priorities and we will make sure that we deliver those in the National Interest. With respect, i know you are dismissing this as gossip, but you keep talking about strong and stable leadership, and about these brexit negotiations being crucial, and the conservatives keep saying that theresa may is the only politician who can sort that out. There is a well known german newspaper, and our information comes from one of our respected bbc correspondent who has been speaking to senior sources at the eu. So it is not gossip. Again, no one knows how much truth there is in gossip, do they . Again, there are ways to convey what is going on and this is not the right way to do that. We are not the right way to do that. We are not going to respond to it, we are going to continue to set out our position, to enter into what in many ways has been strong and positive negotiations. I observe, for instance, the Trade Commissioner has said yes, she would expect there to bea said yes, she would expect there to be a deal with the Single Market. So i dont recognise the tone in which this has been reported. At i do come back to the fact that it does make it clear that this is going to be a complex, potentially difficult negotiation at times, and who do we wa nt negotiation at times, and who do we want leading those . We want theresa may leading them, notjeremy corbyn. 0n may leading them, notjeremy corbyn. On that leadership of those eu negotiations, can you comment on speculation that there is a bit of a fallout between theresa may and the brexit secretary, david davis, over his conduct at that meeting . What do you know about that, and what can you know about that, and what can you tell us . To be honest, nothing at all. I wasnt at the meeting, and she has it already it is gossip, but what i can say is that the meetings i have attended at cabinet or at the brexit cabinet, we have a series of different meetings in different committees in order to engage in brexit. All i have seen is a totally united group having opened discussions and arriving at the plan which we will take to the european union. Are the prospects of a good brexit deal looking worse now than when the Prime Minister called the election . We are optimistic that we can geta election . We are optimistic that we can get a good brexit deal in the National Interests. It is not going to happen overnight. We need to make sure we do it from the position of strength, which is why the Prime Minister wants to have this General Election, nor do we underestimate the difficulties that are going to ta ke the difficulties that are going to take place over the next few months. What we have clear plan and we are going to be working to deliver that for the country. Can i ask you, i know it is the mantra about strong and stable leadership. Mrs may gave us an and stable leadership. Mrs may gave us an election when she promised she wouldnt. We see rising prices in the shops, we see the crisis in the nhs, talking to jeremy the shops, we see the crisis in the nhs, Talking Tojeremy Hunt about that last week, and she has been described as being in a different galaxy when it comes to these brexit negotiations. I wonder whether she can really claim that her leadership is strong and stable, when you consider all that . As home secretary, she did a lot. As Prime Minister she set out a clear plan. If you talk to people like i do and all the candidates are doing in their constituencies, people are coming up to us saying they want to vote for theresa may but they cannot vote for theresa may but they cannot vote for theresa may but they cannot vote Forjeremy Corbyn because they have confidence in her. When she decided to call the General Election she set a clearly why it was, the timing. The fact is we dont want to enter into the final negotiations with the european union, and we have seen over the past few days they may be tricky over parts, as we enter into the General Election, if we give the reason mandate i hope she will get on june eight, give the reason mandate i hope she will get onjune eight, she will enter into the negotiations on a position of strength and with a mandate to carry out the National Interest and not need to go to a General Election at the end of the negotiations. We will talk about diane abbott later. Labour so they will provide 10,000 new Police Offices in england and wales. According to your figures, we have seen a decline of 20,000 since 2009. That is under your own party. Will you fix that . The important thing when looking at crime is to find out what those statistics are doing. Crime has fallen by a third since 2010. There has been control over budgets and less Police Officers we have invested in the police force in areas we believe they can make progress with other elements of crime. The point is that what really matters is the outcome. Crime has fallen while budgets have been controlled. That is a good outcome, surely. Thank you. We will speak diane abbott and clegg soon. Surely. Thank you. We will speak diane abbott and clegg soonm surely. Thank you. We will speak diane abbott and clegg soon. In half an hour. The weather. Good morning. Good morning. A cold start for many of us. Frost around. Lovely sunrises, as you can see here in east sussex. Not like this everywhere. A lot of cloud in the uk. Durham, a cloudy start. As the breeze picks up, more cloud coming in. Starting off in some eastern parts with cloud. Further west, Clearer Skies. Clearer skies by Night In London where the temperatures have dipped, of course. The afternoon. Cloud on the east coast bringing in a few showers. If you are on the coast, it will feel cold. Down towards east anglia and kent. Some of those showers developing in the midlands and parts of hampshire and the isle of wight. The South West Of England and wales, sunny intervals to look forward to in the afternoon. Cardiff, 17 degrees. North west england, also seeing sunshine this afternoon. The same with Northern Ireland. The warmest day so far this year for them. Scotland is seeing a lot of sunshine as well. At times, more cloud coming in from the north sea. Through the evening and overnight, some showers drift towards east wales and South West England down towards southern counties. Then they fade. Importing more rain coming across the south east. With that, a largely dry night under Clearer Skies, especially where it has been warm by day. Temperatures will drop. A cold night. Here and there, once again, a touch of frost. Into tomorrow, while we are looking at a similar story in the sense that there will still be Cloud Drifting in from the north sea, moving steadily towards the west, as we go through the day, producing a few showers, across the finals of england, scotland, and Northern Ireland, once again, looking at sunny skies. Far north. If that is tempting you to go into the ocean, it will feel cold. I am showing you this chart because the wind is coming from the east and north east across the cold north sea. It will feel cold on the east coast in the next few days. Thursday, a weak Weather Front in the south not doing much more than bringing in some cloud and the odd spot of rain. Also looking at dry weather. In fact, spot of rain. Also looking at dry weather. Infact, dry spot of rain. Also looking at dry weather. In fact, dry weather is going to be the theme of the weather right until the weekend. If you see anything wet coming out of the sky, it will be a shower. Showers will be hit and miss. That is the case on thursday to be the northern half of the country once again seeing more sunshine than the south. Back to you. Thank you. Talking about the temperatures. We talked to a surfer who survived for 30 hours due to being well prepared with a wetsuit. And hold on. Hopefully that does not happen. Now steph is here to talk about bomad, the bank of mum and dad. We have been looking at how much pa rents we have been looking at how much parents help young people get onto the property ladder. It is interesting. Around a quarter of all Property Transactions will involve money that has come from mums and dads. That is significant. Six and a half billion pounds. That makes it the equivalent of the ninth biggest residential lender. An important pa rt residential lender. An important part of it. It is not a shock when you look at house prices. They have been going up for a long time. The average house price now is £218,000. If you are trying to get a mortgage with a 10 deposit, you will need 22 grand. That is more than some people earn ina grand. That is more than some people earn in a year. In order to say that amount of money, money, it can take the ball a long time. It is not a shock that parents end up having to help people get onto the property ladder. People. The ninth biggest, that is a lot it really is. Especially if you have parents that are not particularly forthcoming. Many struggle to get on the ladder because their parents cannot help them. Exactly. Thank you. Standing in the middle of the north sea, the brent field has been a cornerstone of the uks oil and Gas Production for over four decades. Now, one of the fields four Iconic Platforms has been decommissioned. Breakfastsjohn maguire is live at its final resting place, the able seaton port in hartlepool. Good morning. Good morning. The rig we are showing you is a jacket rig, 14,000 pounds. And 24,000 is brent delta, 40 bigger. It is three miles offshore. It is a 300 mile journey that it has made from the north sea to get it will be taken to the jetty at the top which has been purpose built and it will go and be salvaged. That is part of the decommissioning process. A world record feat of engineering. A decade in the planning, butjust seconds in the execution, as the topside, as its known, is lifted off brent delta, and onto the Worlds Largest construction ship. The Pioneering Spirit was designed and built exactly for mammoth tasks like this. 380 metres long and 124 metres wide across two hulls, its the size of an 0lympics worth of Sports Pitches and double decker buses. Speaking to the bbc before the world record lift, the captain of the ship says his is a dream job. It is one of the dreams to be the captain of a ship like this. This is as big as you can get in the world at the moment. The brent field, more than 100 miles north east of the shetlands, has been producing oil since the 1970s. During its peak, half a Million Barrels a day. Now, the oilfield is coming to the end of its economic life, and these monoliths are being decommissioned, itself, a massive job. The north sea in particular is a very harsh environment. The platforms are very big and large integrated platforms. They are much bigger typically than what you would find in the southern north sea and shallow basins around the world. They are heavier and more difficult to decommission. It is a process that will be worth at least £40 billion in the years ahead, but it is not without challenges. Shell, which operates the oilfield, says it learned lessons from the furore from the scrapping of the Storage Facility in the 1990s. Deltas three concrete legs will remain in place as the Company Believes removing them is too dangerous and expensive. We will see 100 decommissioned in the coming years as these giants of the once so vital oil field, are brought ashore to die. The estimate is they will recycle 98. 5 of the topside, which seems extraordinary. We will talk to Duncan Manning from shell. How are your fingernails . Nervous anticipation as we await the movement of the brent delta into the port. Things have gone well so far, but it is different from the past. For us, the Brent Platforms are integrated in very large. Lifting them make sense in terms of efficiency and also safety. We are moving offshore work onto the far more controlled environment on the onshore recycling yard. There are three more, alpha, bravo, and charlie, to be decommissioned as well. Where are we will with that . You havent got the rules yet to do so. We have just finished a 60 day Public Consultation process where the proposals have been in the Public Domain for stakeholders and members of the public to read, digest, and understand. 0nce members of the public to read, digest, and understand. Once we have been through that process, we will go onto the next one, to apply to remove them. It is up to the government to accept proposals or allow us to move on. From an offshore perspective, in alpha, we are in the middle of isolating the razor wire from the surface. Reservoir. Brent, we are preparing the platform for lift. Delta is being moved. It will come here on the high tide at half past six tonight. It will be brought in by The Iron Lady which hilariously will be turning around 90 degrees. It will be decommissioned in this part of the uk and much work will be carrying on for years and years to come in the north sea. So she is returning. I love what you did. We are talking about Personal Space among other things today. I brought my measure tape. This article in the paper says we value Personal Space quite highly. If you are a stranger, rights, they say you like to be a metre away. Right. You are not a stranger. If you are an acquaintance, you can come to 80 centimetres. There you go. And if you are considered a friend, a close, intimate companion. Really . 50 is acceptable. We sit too close. You are 21 centimetres. 50 is acceptable. We sit too close. You are 21 centimetreslj 50 is acceptable. We sit too close. You are 21 centimetres. I love that you say that as if it is my fault. Maybe i should go this year. Less than an arms length is too close, says this man. Many talking about coffee breath, if you can smell it, you are too close. I hate when you are ina you are too close. I hate when you are in a line and you can feel the person behind you breathing on your neck. Why cant theyjust back off a bit and friendly warmth is best expressed by a cheery nod and a wave from across the room, says this person. It is different whether you are outside or inside. This is much better. Do you feel much more comfortable . I think this could work. Wonderful. Time to get the news, travel, and weather, wherever you are this morning. Good morning from bbc london news. Im katharine carpenter. A report has criticised successive uk governments for not securing compensation for the victims of ira bombings. The Gaddafi Regime supplied the plastic explosives used in many of the ira bomb attacks, including the 1996 docklands bombing. The report from the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee says victims from the uk have been let down, while those from other countries have received millions in compensation as a result of their governments actions. 0ne boy is in a Life Threatening Condition and another is stable after a house fire in essex. Another is seriously injured. They were rescued from a home on Beambridge Road in pitsea yesterday afternoon.

The countrys First Community owned pub is finally turning a profit, proving its possible to buck the trend of pubs closing at a rate of one a week in london. The ivy house, near peckham, offers baby dance classes, yoga, and knitting groups, as well as the traditional pint. Following its success, 74 other pubs have adopted the model. We are at last sort of turning a profit. A small one at this stage. But we are getting there. And so, it can be done. It is not as if it is plain sailing, everything will be unique. But it can be done. Lets have a look at the Travel Situation now. 0n the trains, overnight Engineering Works have over run near Gatwick Airport and delays and cancellations are expected all day to and from there with gatwick express, southern, and Thameslink Services all affected. 0n the roads, this is the a102 which is already looking busy northbound at the blackwall tunnel. And in islington, essex road remains closed northbound for water works at islington green. Lets have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. Hello, and good morning. A day to get out and about, with the best of the brightness first thing. High level cloud making things hazy. But for most of us, a largely dry and bright start. A bit more of Cloud Building into the afternoon. But still a few brighter intervals and sunny spells. But one or two showers around. The potential for heavy ones in the afternoon. Highs of 17 degrees. Prolonged spells of sunshine. This evening, a few showers. But it will become increasingly dry. Clear spells for a time. But we will then see Cloud Thickening Up from the east courtesy of the next band of rain moving in from the east. Eight degrees overnight. So, into wednesday, then. The band of rain goes towards the west. Wednesday will be fairly cloudy. A few outbreaks of rain. Temperatures struggling slightly with all that cloud around. Highs of 13 degrees with all that north easterly breeze. Thursday is looking fairly cloudy. A secluded front goes south bringing patchy outbreaks of rain at times and again largely cloudy although temperatures are struggling slightly. Ill leave you with the outlook. Itll be fairly cloudy through the next few days with a chilly north easterly breeze and those temperatures slightly struggling. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now, though, its back to bbc breakfast. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. Senior eu sources have made a series of scathing comments about the governments approach to brexit negotiations, raising the prospect they could fail to reach an agreement. Yesterday, a german newspaper reported that talks got off to a bad start when the Prime Minister met the president of the European Commission, jean Claude Juncker. Theresa may has dismissed it as brussels gossip. Well, once you start engaging in gossip and tittle tattle in this way, it carries on, and who knows where it will lead . Much betterfor us to be much better for us to be absolutely clear. We have our plan, we are entering into these negotiations in good faith. We have our priorities, and we will make sure that we deliver those in the National Interest. In just a few minutes, we will be talking to the former deputy Prime Minister nick clegg. And we have diane abbott a little bit later on in the programme as well. Police are continuing to search for two suspects after a man was shot dead in his home in the early hours of sunday morning. 61 year old guy hedger was killed by intruders in the village of st ives, in dorset. Detectives say it was a targeted attack. A surfer who went missing off the scottish coast has been rescued after more than 30 hours clinging to his board. Matthew bryce was reported missing by his family when he didnt return from a surfing trip in argyll on sunday afternoon. He was eventually picked up 13 miles off the coast, still conscious but suffering from hypothermia. He stayed with the surfboard, which aided in detection, looking for him. He was also, because he was on the surfboard, he wasnt exposed to the Water Temperature so much, and he had the correct wetsuit, which kept his Body Temperature warmer than it would have been had he just been in shorts and t shirt. Us President Donald Trump has said he would be honoured to meet north Korean Leader kimjong un, in the right circumstances. Mr trump made his comments amid continuing tensions surrounding pyongyangs nuclear programme. The white house later said such talks were unlikely in the near future. George osborne starts his newjob as editor of the london newspaper the Evening Standard today. The former chancellor was a Surprise Appointment, with some criticising his lack of journalistic experience. Mr osborne stepped down last month as Conservative Mp for tatton, in cheshire. 0ur Media Editor amol rajan reports. I understand he gets up at 4am now. Cats might well have nine lives, but Moggy Miracle worker scott derben took no chances when he saw a feline in danger. Video footage showing the docks worker coming to the rescue of felix, the londons royal docks office cat, has gone viral after it was posted online over the weekend. Felix was fighting with another cat when she slipped and fell in the canal. Scott rushed to her rescue, and clambered over the dock to pull her out of the water. Typically, though, scott got very little appreciation from the cat, who just walked off. Imean, you i mean, you know, maybe the cat was a bit scared, not typically. I mean, you know, maybe the cat was a bit scared, not typicallylj i mean, you know, maybe the cat was a bit scared, not typically. I know im a bit anti cat, but they only like you when they want food. That is not entirely true. Dogs are your friend for life, and cats. It is just stereotypes. Cats get fed up and just move on. You see all those missing cat posters and that is because the cat has made a decision. We had a cat who used to just hang its claw underneath the table and every time i walked past, i think i am physically and mentally scarred maybe i was in the cats Personal Space. We are very much the dog, i am afraid you are cat in the middle. And i am allowed on the sofa and everything. Isnt it funny that this time last year leicester were top of the world. They won the Premier League and on the same day mark selby won the world title. At least they can still count on mark selby to give them something to celebrate. Mark selby is the World Snooker champion for a third time. The world number one beat john higgins by 18 15. Selby had been trailing 10 4 at one point, but he dominated mondays play to successfully defend his world title. He becomes only the fourth man in modern era to do so. Very special. I mean, to sort of get over them two wins and be sitting at three world titles out there on my own is unbelievable, really. And, like i say, to be only one of four players to defend it is just something i can only dream of. Liverpools chances of reaching the Champions League have been boosted by one of the goals of the season by emre can. The midfielder lit up a pretty uninspiring game with this incredible Overhead Kick at the end of the first half, which is definitely worth seeing again. Watford rarely threatened, but Sebastian Prodl missed a chance to snatch a point in stoppage time. Of course, we couldnt imagine that he would score a bicycle kick, or whatever, as they say. Actually, the space and the run, was what we did on the Training Pitch last week. So im happy with the goal. For emre to do Something Like this is really nice, and it is a wonderful, wonderful result for us. Real madrid play neighbours atletico in their first leg of the Champions League semi finals tonight at the bernabeu. Cristiano ronaldo and teammates will be without gareth bale, who misses out through injury. The tie is a repeat of last seasons final, which real won on penalties. Paula radcliffe says her reputation and dignity have been damaged by plans to scrap all Athletics World And European Records set before 2005. The credibility of records has been examined following revelations of widespread doping in the sport. Plans to wipe the slate clean would mean radcliffe, triple jumper jonathan edwards, and hurdler Colin Jackson would all have their records rewritten. There is good news for england cricket fans ahead of next months champions trophy, as Ben Stokes Hit a century in the Indian Premier League on his return from injury. Stokes came in with his side, rising pune supergiant, in big trouble, but smashed 100 to take them to victory all that despite suffering from cramp. The england test captain didnt fare so well. Joe root was caught on 21, but his yorkshire side still beat traditional rivals lancashire in the 0ne day cup. England spinner adil rashid took two wickets. The first Great Britain lions Rugby League Tour in more than a decade could take place in 2019. They have played as individual nations since 2007. The chair of the Rugby League International federation has told the bbc there could be a tour to the Southern Hemisphere scheduled between this years world cup in australia and the 2021 tournament in england. And finally, two footballers who appeared to forget which sport they were playing. Keep an eye near the halfway line. This tackle wouldnt have looked out of place in a rugby match. This happened in the Russian Premier League yesterday, between tom tomsk and zenit st petersburg. Afterwards, both players only received yellow cards. Did they not see it . I think maybe there had been some beef earlier in there had been some beef earlier in the match. Are used to watch a bit of wrestling. There is some kind of wrestling. There is some kind of hulk hogan eye gouge. Before that, it was stone cold steve austins signature move, the stone cold stunner. He did set him up with a little kick to the gut. Brutal, isnt it . Nearly two thirds of adults in england are overweight or obese. Steph is having a look at that. We have talked about this a lot on the programme. 0besity have talked about this a lot on the programme. Obesity is a growing problem, and the government has been trying to persuade Food Manufacturers and retailers to do their bit. Some of the measures are compulsory, like the planned tax on sugary food, and others are volu nta ry. Sugary food, and others are voluntary. With me is the tesco Chief Executive for the uk and the republic of ireland. What are you doing about it . Look, we know this is an area where customers really wa nt is an area where customers really want us to help them. What we are trying to do over the next few week is really pulled together next few weeks. Customers need to understand how they can eat healthier. So lots of swaps where customers can swap healthier products away from the less healthy products, Price Reductions across the board, so that we focus those Price Reductions on healthier areas. Because customers are clearly telling us that they want some support, rather than us dictating what they can or cant buy. And when you say Price Reductions, is that a hit you will be taking . So no, that is something we are absolutely doing. I think for the first time we have got a co ordinated campaign where the healthier option is actually going to cost less than the option which has higher fat and higher salt or sugar. The Health Select Committee Say that one of the big problems is all the promotions you have on unhealthy snacks and ready meals and things. Are you going to be stopping those during this . Look, if you take unhealthy snacks, lets take chocolate, customers are well aware there is lots of sugar and fat in a bar of chocolate. Where we are focusing is on areas of hidden sugar. So if you ta ke on areas of hidden sugar. So if you take areas like pass the sources, cooking sauces, since 2015, in terms of tescos own range, we have reduced the sugar by 18 , salt by 10 and that by 20 odd . It is these hidden sugars that customers tell us they really want help with. And with your own Branded Products you are reducing the fat and Sugar Content in them. There has been a volu nta ry content in them. There has been a voluntary strategy to reduce Sugar Content voluntary strategy to reduce sugar co nte nt by voluntary strategy to reduce Sugar Content by 20 over the next few yea rs. We have content by 20 over the next few years. We have had Sainsburys Bank there should be compulsory. Do you think this should be compulsory . Absolutely, if we look at areas of our business like soft drinks, and we have reduced since 2011 the sugar in our soft we have reduced since 2011 the sugar in oursoft drinks we have reduced since 2011 the sugar in our soft drinks by over 20 . We we re in our soft drinks by over 20 . We were the first retailer in october la st were the first retailer in october last year to declare that every single one of our own brand drinks have less than five grams of sugar per 100 millilitres, and therefore doesnt qualify for the sugar tax. If we take Something Like tesco sugar, which did have nearly ten g of sugar in, it now has five g of sugar in, and we are proud of what we have been doing. We have seen a lot of talk about the inflationary pressures coming in, the fact that the value of the pound has been falling, making it more expensive to import. Other price pressures, and do you see a time when we will have the seafood prices go up . There are absolutely inflationary pressures in the economy at the moment. If i look ata the economy at the moment. If i look at a basket of goods that customers purchase from tesco, they are still 6 less than they were two years ago, and as you say, the intense competition that sits across the whole grocery sector will mean that prices stay low for customers. Stay low, but will start to go up . Look, there is priced hirscher in the economy but we are very, very focused as britains biggest supermarket in making sure that food prices stay low for customers, very, very focused on that. There has been another big deal with you guys, what difference a shop is going to notice with that . What is the strategy behind that . Were really excited about the opportunity to combine britains largest retailer with britains largest retailer with britains largest retailer with britains largest wholesaler. We feel that that will provide benefits for customers, for retailers, for wholesalers, right across the country. If you take fresh food, we are particularly focusing on today, we think ultimately the distribution of fresh food will be more positive asa of fresh food will be more positive as a result of these two businesses combining. And it is about having smaller shops rather than the huge one. Is that about the turnaround of things . You will focus on that . Our growth at the moment, if you look at the recent results, comes across the board. So our largest stores, which people had written off in the past, are trading much more strongly. But at the same time if you look at the growth which is forecast in the market, most of the growth flows from online and convenience. Your market share has been falling recently, if you look at the recent figures. Why is it falling when you are in the middle of this turnaround plan, when things are meant to be Getting Better for you . The past few years have been a difficult period for tesco, but we are really pleased with the progress we have made over the past 2. 5 years in terms of how we are serving. Britains shoppers are better served each day. Have you had your pick . Have you had your day of being. We have lots of plans in our business, and to continue to delight customers across the board. What we are doing over the next few weeks is bringing all of that together from health perspective, and making sure that customers are supported to buy healthier products. Fascinating. We are talking a lot about the weather this morning as usual. It is glorious in some parts of the country. We will talk to carol soon. But this is hartlepool, wherejohn maguire carol soon. But this is hartlepool, where john maguire has carol soon. But this is hartlepool, wherejohn maguire has been talking to us. And now a look outside the studios in salford where it is a beautiful, and i think, calm and sunny day. Let us have a look. Ok, while you do that, the weather. Stormy seas. This is aberdeen. Good morning. My weather watcher picture is great. Aberdeen. Cloud. More cloud across Eastern Areas today. 40 in nottinghamshire. That should lift. In nottinghamshire. That should lift. Foggy. Blue skies. Thank you to the weather watcher is for sending this in. Keep it coming. Cloud and fog. Blue skies first thing in some areas. Look at these clouds. They will start the pulling more cloud from the cold north sea. Some showers. Like yesterday, the north and west will hang on to the lions share of the best weather. Yesterday, Northern Ireland had the warmest weather this year so far. You can see how we have ploughed in Eastern England coming in from the north sea. Cloud. Temperatures going up in Eastern Areas. Some going up in Eastern Areas. Some going into the pennines. We will hang the sunshine. The midlands and east anglia, essex, kent, down towards hampshire, again, showers. Hitand miss. Not towards hampshire, again, showers. Hit and miss. Not all of us look at one. Sunny intervals. South west england, a dry day then yesterday. Sunshine. The same for wales. Sunny spells through the day into the afternoon. Cambridge is up to 14 in aberdeen. Northern ireland, a sunny day. Dry. The same in much of scotland. Eastern scotland is still prone to cloud coming in from the north sea at times. That will pull back the temperatures. Overnight, some of those showers getting into eastern wales. Then they fade. The next batch coming in across south east england on a noticeable breeze. Clearer skies by day and it will bring a drop in temperatures overnight. A touch and frost the next morning. Still some rain coming in from the south east turning increasingly showery through the day. A stiff rhys tomorrow brawling in more cloud in england and wales. Breeze. The finals of england, Northern Ireland, and scotland, will see the best sunshine. As we go into thursday, a weak Weather Fronts in the south. That will not do much more than produce the odd cloud and show it. Quite breezy. That is coming in from the cold north sea. Right on the coastline you will feel it as cold. And all of this cloud in southern areas producing the showers. The north of the uk will see the lions share of the sunshine. If you are looking for significant rainfall in the forecasts, not expecting it until sunday at least. What we will see are showers here and there. Fairly hit and are showers here and there. Fairly hitand miss, are showers here and there. Fairly hit and miss, of course. Now, are showers here and there. Fairly hitand miss, of course. Now, back to you. Thank you. Very interesting. Showers, but not until the weekend. The former liberal democrat leader, nick clegg, is warning this morning that theresa mays intention to take the uk out of the Single Market will damage those she claims to want to help most. He will argue in a speech later that the result of the Eu Referendum is already making families worse off. He joins us now from westminster. Good morning. Thank you forjoining us. The remaining campaign had some dire warnings. But that does not reflect your campaign. You to distinguish between breathless claims between what would happen immediately after the referendum and the long term effects on the british economy in the long term effects on the money in pockets of people. We have seen prices go up in shops, food is more expensive, petrol, energy, holidays, because the pound plummeted compared to some last year by about 17 . We are also starting to see messages from Companies Like nestle and Deutsche Bank saying they will move out of the country. And i am afraid the latest figures show people are not spending in the shops like they were a few months ago because of the squeeze on their incomes. My worry is that in the same way the conservatives are being complacent about the election, treating it like coronation, they are being complacent about effects already emerging about brexit. This is the point, it will be made much worse, tremendously, by the choice to pursue a particularly hard exit, andi to pursue a particularly hard exit, and i think that is not the right choice from theresa may. She should be held to account by an effective opposition in parliament. You would be aware theresa may is saying every vote gives her a better hand in brexit negotiations to strengthen the uk and the economy. They talk about strong and stable leadership going into the negotiations and holding a strong position. He problem as it is not true that racking up a landslide majority for the conservatives is going to make this negotiation more straightforward. In fact, this negotiation more straightforward. Infact, by doubling up and rake committing herself to the heart approach to brexit, not just taking herself to the heart approach to brexit, notjust taking it out of the eu, but out of margaret thatchers Single Market in the Customs Union and so on, she is making an economically difficult situation even worse for millions of other ha rd pressed families situation even worse for millions of other hard pressed families in this country. And she is also, in a sense, making it more likely, as we saw in the report withjuncker, that the attitude will become belligerent between the eu and the uk. Neuer will benefit from that because we depend so heavily in everything on a Good Relationship with the rest of the eu. Good relationship with the rest of the eu. No one. Talk about the Single Market. Europe is being clear about that. Being part of the Single Market and staying in it means there must be freedom of movement. Do you agree . My own view is that theresa may could and should have sought to find a solution on the issue of free movement, which is undoubtedly a big issue. She could have done that in the aftermath of the referendum. I spoke to many european politicians. They said they would not try to find some way to accommodate her demands. There is a rock and a hard place. It is impossible to be part of the Single Market, replacing 28 bits of red tape with one rule book for the whole of the eu. It is impossible to be part of that open marketplace of rules if you are not going to abide by the rulings of it and the European Court of justice. By the rulings of it and the European Court ofjustice. So you agree. She could have found a solution, but she will. |j agree. She could have found a solution, but she will. I will ask you i think it will make us poor as a country. Your opinion, would you agree to freedom of movement . think freedom of movement benefits us think freedom of movement benefits us because it allows us to study and travel abroad. But my point is if you want to find a solution to freedom of movement, i dont know, restricting it more to the freedom to work rather than simply to move across the european union, something i suspect she could have achieved if she had wanted to. She chose not to. She chose merely to declare without speaking to the rest of the eu that she would pursue the most hardened uncompromising form of brexit. That will make it difficult economically in the future. That is the reason she is holding the General Election. She knows the news will be tough in the months and years to come so she is getting her excuses and election in early. Nick clegg, i will ask you, you have been part of a Coalition Government and you are qualified to talk about what it is like to be part of their government. Would be lib dems be part of them ain . Would be lib dems be part of them again . Not at all in this election. There is not a remote chance we would be in a coalition either with theresa may orjeremy corbyn. It is not going to happen. That is why all of the embers robotic star from the conservatives saying it is either us ora conservatives saying it is either us or a coalition of chaos is utter nonsense. Jeremy corbyn will not be Prime Minister. The question is who will hold theresa may to account . Will them to account when their promises of this brexit turns out to be much more difficult for millions the country . That could only come from more effective opposition, which only be lib dems can provide. Thank you very much. And later we will talk to diane abbott. A coalition of chaos, they said. We will catch up with the news, travel, and weather, wherever you are waking up and weather, wherever you are waking up this morning. We will see a team. You at 8am.

I will have more in 15 minutes. Thank you, carol, we will see you at 8 15am. Good morning. First, our main story. Theres been further fallout from last weeks talks on brexit between theresa may and European Commission president jean Claude Juncker. Senior eu sources have told the bbc that the uk government is on a completely different wavelength. Theyve also accused it of being ignorant of how brussels works and misunderstanding the fundamentals of brexit negotiations. Theresa may has already dismissed reports of a disagreement with eu officials as brussels gossip. Our Political Correspondent chris mason is in westminster. There is already discussions about discussions and who said what to whom at what dinner party. Where are we with this . It is baffling and this is the start of the process, we have two years about this, talks about talks and gossip about talks and others gossiping they will not gossip about the other persons gossip. All of this about a dinner party that the Prime Minister hosted last wednesday, dinner in Downing Street forjean Claude Juncker, boss of the European Commission, to talk about the talks that are coming. No discreet thank you card, compliments about the creme brulee in the days after the dinner and all that sort of thing. Instead, a welter of briefings from brussels to german newspapers, the bbc and sunday newspapers, the bbc and sunday newspapers in the uk, suggesting, frankly, that the two science, brussels and the uk, are million miles apart before these negotiations start. The uk and brussels in brusselss view doesnt understand what the European Unions priorities are. A senior european source said they would not get into a briefing law so that gossip and talk about talks me, frankly, for the moment at least have reached its final ground. sort of thing not, chris. Lets talk about the Campaign Trail. Labour are on the Campaign Trail talking about Police Officers arent they . They are and you can tell the General Election is underway when this little studio i talk to you from as the aroma of politicians who are desperate to appear and tell you about what will be their election winning pitch. Labour talking about Police Officers, their desire for an extra 10,000 officers in england and wales and point to the declining number of officers in the last six or seven years. They say they would pay for that by reversing the governments changes to Capital Gains tax, the conservatives make the argument labour appear to have allocated the money that would generate. To other things already. You can only spend the same pound twice. As youve discovered in your conversation with nick clegg, former deputy Prime Minister, Liberal Democrats talking brexit today as well and their fears about a so called hard brexit, the economic consequences they fear that could have on ordinary working families. Chris como talking about aftershave and perfume, does it smell good in there . Im no expert when it comes to the olfactory senses but it doesnt smell too bad. Its not too bad its early in the morning thank you, chris. Diane abbott will be in their later. We will speak to her on breakfast later. Now to some other stories this morning. Police are continuing to search for two suspects after a man was shot dead in his home in the early hours of sunday morning. 61 year old guy hedger, was killed by intruders in the village of st ives in dorset. Our correspondent Simon Clemison is at the scene. Simon, good morning, what more do we know . Good morning, dan and louise. This is a very wealthy area on the edge of the new forest with quite a lot of very big, expensive houses. So why this one in particular . That has been a big question for the police but it seems guy hedger was targeted, his property was targeted because police now know that jewellery and designer watches were taken. There does seem to be some elements of planning here. The intruders seemed ready for a confrontation, they had balaclavas and shotguns and it was a violent burglary. It will be some days before we have all the details. There was a man at the house at the same time as well as guy hedger and it seems he saw some of the events but he is obviously deeply affected by that. He will be a witness. There is the weapon to find as well. So, a lot of lines for police to follow up here. The police say an attack on an innocent man in an unlikely location. Thank you very much, this morning. This is an amazing story we have been talking about. A surfer who went missing off the scottish coast has been rescued after more than 30 hours clinging to his board. Matthew bryce was reported missing by his family when he didnt return from a surfing trip in argyll on sunday afternoon. He was eventually picked up 13 miles off the coast still conscious but suffering from hypothermia. The coast guard said he survived because he had a thick wet suit and he stayed on top of his surfboard. After 30 hours at what point do you think you will never be found . Do you ever give up . How do you keep yourself entertained . It is awful. Terrifying. One day we would love to speak to terrifying. One day we would love to speakto him. Terrifying. One day we would love to speak to him. Find out what he went through. Us President Donald Trump has said he would be honoured to meet north Korean Leader kimjong un, in the right circumstances. Mr trump made his comments amid continuing tensions surrounding pyongyangs nuclear programme. The white house later said such talks were unlikely in the near future. George osborne starts his newjob as editor of the london newspaper the Evening Standard today. The former chancellor was a Surprise Appointment with some calling on him to quit politics. Mr osborne stepped down last month as Conservative Mp for tatton in cheshire. The seat which is due to be abolished next election. He will edit the paper four days a week.

If you go to a posh do do you just have one dress that you go for . No no, you have lots. I dont have dresses like this, though. Its described as the party of the year and is the hottest ticket in town the met gala. The annual charity ball is held at new Yorks Metropolitan Museum of art to raise money for the museums fashion department. Its an exclusive event, with tickets costing Tens Of Thousands of dollars and a flamboyant dress code. Nada tawfik was there. Just a warning that her report contains flash photography. And some ridiculous dresses it is the hottest invite on new yorks social calendar, and the biggest night in fashion, that draws out only the stars. Stepping onto the met gala red carpet is to enter a runway, but one with a very specific theme. This year, the met Costume Institute is Honouring Japanese designer rei kawakubo, who famously blurs the line between fashion and artwork. Rei isnt so much out of the box. For rei, there is no box, and she did that so early on. When rei started, you would never believe fashion could be as influential and as powerful as music. Well, it is. You know, a lot of people say, like, how do you wear that . You dont wear those clothes, those clothes wear you. Sleeves need not apply, and Cotton Candy Hair and face coverings are just a few of kawakubos signatures. And the bravest dress the part. The met ball is not the place to play it safe. And that unspoken rule, combined with this unconventional designers inspiration, has led to a night of unique looks. It is 8 10am, youre watching bbc breakfast. The parents of a seriously ill baby will reportedly launch an appeal today against a legal ruling that would see life support withdrawn against his familys wishes. Last month, the High Court Ruled that doctors could move eight month old charlie gard, who suffers a rare genetic disorder, onto palliative care. The daily mail reports this morning that his parents connie yates and chris gard would launch a new Court Challenge after ms yates told the newspaper charlie is still strong and stable. Lets speak now to emma nottingham, a member of the institute of medical Ethics Research committee and lecturer in child law. Good morning. Thanks very much. We have talked about this case before. Tell us legally what is happening now . So, at the moment its been accepted that they can take the case to an appeal. So what that means is that it will move up through the court system. So it will go to the next highest court which is the court of appeal and new legal arguments will be put forward. There will be differentjudges who are going to look at the issues again in light of the new arguments that have been made. They will deliver a new judgment. With regard to new legal arguments is that different evidence, new evidence, what might it be . The evidence itself will be fairly similar. Nothing new has really co m e fairly similar. Nothing new has really come about. But its different legal arguments that are being made. Some of that will touch upon the legal arguments that were made before regarding what is in charlies best interests. However, it has been reported, although we dont have much information about this at the moment, that its going to be based on human rights. So there is going to be a potential human rights challenge. We dont know whose human rights yet we are talking about, so that could be the human rights of charlie himself, or the human rights of the parents can also come into play here. Thats all the information we have so far. But its a very different kind of legal argument. So its possible that the outcome could be quite different. Just give us an idea as well, because this is an unusual case, such a difficult case. What sort of things were the court and the judge considering when they made the judgment . When they made the previousjudgment they judgment . When they made the previous judgment they were really focusing on charlie himself. All of the evidence that was given by the medical professionals involved to try and make an assessment for what is considered to be in charlies best interests. So they can look at other factors such as the parents but the main focus is actually charlie and what is best for him. And, sadly, the decision of the high court was that its in charlies best interests to withdraw the treatment. Now, the parents believe really strongly that he still has a chance, and given they have got the money now to be able to send charlie across to america for experimental treatment, thats something that they are really pushing for. So they do have a chance now to perhaps have the decision from the high court overturned. I said before this is such an unusual and difficult case. Will it have any, when it finally comes to whatever decision it is, will it have any ramifications for other cases at all . Every case is dealt with on a case by case basis. As we have been told, charlies condition is extremely rare. Hes reported to be only the 16th person in the world with this condition. So it could have implications for, maybe, other cases to do with very Young Children and issues around withdrawal of treatment. But its very difficult to actually say exactly what implications its going to have because every case is going to have because every case is going to be different. So if we see a case in the future that deals with a child and issues around the withdrawal of their treatment, its not going to be the same conditions. So its difficult to actually say whether its going to have any implications. But there is a possibility that it could. Emma nottingham, a member of the institute for medical Ethics Research institute. It is 8 14am. A reminder of some of the main stories on breakfast. Senior eu sources have criticised britains approach to brexit negotiations and warn talks could fail altogether. The hunt continues for two suspects after the murder of a Marketing Executive shot in his home on bank monday morning. A report says we like a meter if youre a stranger and 80 centimetres foran youre a stranger and 80 centimetres for an acquaintance and this is clearly a bugbear. Nick says, i detest people when they come up to my face to talk to me. Because in south america, particularly argentina, it is very sort of, i get in there. It is right up in your grill. I become defensive and agitated and refuse to listen to someone who is in my face. Kathleen says if i can feel or hear them breathe, theyre too close. Paul says a meter from strangers, but buses and trains and taxis, what do you do . Buses, trains, tubes . M buses and trains and taxis, what do you do . Buses, trains, tubes . It is an issue. Stewart says, how close is too close . It depends on the volume of deodorant used we like a bit of ps in this country. Carol how close is too close . a bit of ps in this country. Carol how close is too close . I like my Personal Space. A good arms length. Arms length. An arms length. We should be measuring by an arm get out of my area lou, you will be in the next town if you go with dans good morning, it is a chilly start for some of us. Our weather watchers sent some beautiful pictures. Down the east of the country, we will see more cloud. There is some fog in nottinghamshire this morning too. It will lift. We will see Clearer Skies. But a beautiful start to the day in great malvern. On the satellite picture you can see where weve got cloud and fog, but it is mostly dry at this stage. However, through the course of the day, we will see some showers. Watch those isobars. They start to veer to more ofan isobars. They start to veer to more of an easterly direction. So we will be pulling in the breeze over a cold north sea, moving the cloud around, bringing some more into the east and thats the cloud that will produce the showers in the east, but for england and they will try and spur into central parts and later towards west wales and the south west. This morning weve got some cloud down this east coast, but weve got a fair bit of sunshine around. The lions share will be in the north west of the uk. But you can see where the showers are coming in across eastern parts of england heading towards the midlands. They are hitand heading towards the midlands. They are hit and miss. So by no means will we all see them. It is the same for east anglia and essex and kent. You might catch one. On the isle of wight, but again, they are all hit and miss as is the way with showers. Into South West England, you should stay dry. Much drier than it was yesterday. Highs up to 15 celsius in plymouth. For wales, a lot of sunshine to look forward to. As we will have across cumbria and lancashire as well. The same too for Northern Ireland. Another Beautiful Day for you. You had your highest temperature of the year so far yesterday and across much of scotland, a lot of dry and sunny conditions, but at times along this east coast, there will be more cloud coming in. Through the evening and overnight, the showers advance towards west and eastern parts of wales, down towards the south coast and then they fade. Weve got some more coming in across the south east ona more coming in across the south east on a brisk breeze. Where it has been really warm and sunny by day, the temperature will dip away really quickly as it gets dark. So it will bea quickly as it gets dark. So it will be a cold night and here and there we could see frost. Tomorrow, this area of rain will increasingly turn more showery, but you will notice this breeze and watch how it is bringing the cloud further west in through wales and South West England as well as as the midlands and parts of northern england. So it will be the extreme fringes of the south west and wales that see sunshine. But again, northern england, scotland and Northern Ireland hanging on to the sunshine for much of the day. And for thursday we have got this weak front in the south. That will bring in cloud and the odd spot. Further north, drier and sunnier, cloud and the odd spot. Further north, drierand sunnier, but cloud and the odd spot. Further north, drier and sunnier, but it will be breezier and a chilly breeze at that, dan and lou. Carol, thank you very much. Arms length. Thats a really good judge, isnt it . If youre on a train. Excuse me. Hes off, son. Youre in me area. Lucky to be alive thats how belfast coastguard have described a surfer who was rescued from the irish sea last night after 30 hours clinging to his board. Matthew bryce was picked up 13 miles off the argyll coast where hed been surfing on sunday, and flown to hospital where he is recovering from hypothermia. Earlier dawn petrie from the belfast coastguard explained how he survived. We got the call from the police on monday to say hed gone missing on sunday. We were a full 24 hours behind in the search for him. We insta getted a large scale search, senior coastguard officers, and Rescue Helicopter from prestwick to search the area where we suspect he may have drifted. And his chances of survival, how would you describe what he went through and how he was still there 30 hours later . He was very well prepared. He was a very fit gentleman which aidted his survivability. He stayed with the surf board which aided the detection looking for him. He was also then, because he was on the surf board, he wasnt exposed to the Water Temperatures so much and he had the correct wetsuits which kept his Body Temperature warmer than it would have been had hejust been in shorts and t shirt. Have been had hejust been in shorts and tshirt. Right, so he sat on the board, did he . Yes, we understand. He had gone out for a surf and tried to get back in again and we believe he suffered some cramps and just wasnt able to paddle against the tide which then continually took him away from the shore. So incredible work done by all the Emergency Services and the coastguard to find him. How was he when you found him . When the helicopter picked him up, he was conscious. He was talking to them, he was able to tell them what had happened to him, that he had gone out on the sunday and although he was suffering from hypothermia. And your advice to people if that should happen is, what stay with the board . Stay with the board. Be well prepared before you go out. Let somebody know where youre going, what time you expect them to be back at. Take a means of alerting something with you whether it be a small flair pack or mobile phone so if you get into difficulties you are able to raise the alarm. Top tips, warm a wetsuit, stay with your board and take a mobile phone, they are not normally water proof. wa nt to they are not normally water proof. want to know what he was thinking about during the 30 hours . Hopefully when he is recovered, well get him on. The bank of mum and dad is in the news again as it has emerged more would be homeowners are getting help from family and friends to get them on the property ladder. Stephs got more on this. The bank of mam and dad rather than mum and dad hey, who is arguing about this . Parents are forking out about this . Parents are forking out a lot of money to help their children get on to the property ladder. If you look at the figures from legal general, parents contribute to around a quarter of all the property purchases in the uk at the moment. That is worth £6. 5 billion. So, equivalent, if you make that equivalent to a bank, that would be the ninth biggest residential lender putting them on par with yorkshire building society. It isa par with yorkshire building society. It is a lot of money. It is not a massive shock. If you think about the average house price is £218,000, you know, if youre looking at a deposit of 10e , thats only £22,000 and the fees you need on top of that, it is a lot of money. Thats more than a lot of particularly the young people will earn ina particularly the young people will earn in a year so therefore, it ta kes a earn in a year so therefore, it takes a long time to save up that money and lots of parents out there feel like, a lot of them want to get them shot out of the house for a start, but feel like they want to help. It is tough for those that cant help. It is tough for those that cant help. I know, it makes it harder. Nightingales are britains most celebrated songbird but are under the threat of extinction. This year as they return from migration to the woods and thickets of southern england, theyre being welcomed back by something a bit different. As part of the First National nightingale festival, folk singers are Holding Concerts in woodlands so they can duet with the warbling birds. We sent our arts correspondent David Sillito to see if the birds would sing on cue. Music. Were here in kent. We are gathered in anticipation of being led into the forest at dark to go and listen to the nightingales sing. Sam lee is taking us Into The Woods, not just to listen sam lee is taking us Into The Woods, notjust to listen to nighten gales, but to sing with them. In the dark, in the silence, down a lonely path into a forest, you find a stage. The most unlikely of auditoriums. But it is a stage. Is it worth me going down there . Absolutely. Nobody returns the same. The song of the nightingale. Its the fast disappearing wonder of the british countryside. Singing. And this nocturnal concert is just one of many taking place across the country, an attempt to reconnect us with what used to be the sound of spring. Oh, its amazing the nightingale, its unparalleled in its virtuoso range. And its dying out . They have declined by 62 in the last couple of years. Of course, the idea of Playing Music with a nightingale isnt new. Beatrice harringtons Live Performances with them on the bbc were a sensation. But 90 years on i was worried. The woods sounded very quiet. It is pouring with rain. I cannot see where my feet are. Are there really nightingales here . There are. You will hear them singing and it will grow louder and louder. Oh please, let it be true. Because we are without them right now. Cup your ears. Just focus your hearing. Bird n0|ses. They are so loud, arent they . I didnt really believe you. We are several metres away. Singing. It doesnt it feel odd to be here in the middle of the night sitting in a forest . No, not at all. It seems quite natural and quite perfect. The nightingale, they say. I think it is important to remember that once upon a time this would have been the soundtrack to our spring. Every fire, every homestead, you could just go out and listen to the nightingales. So, that little, damp thicket, an oasis of song. Very calming. Its time for the news, travel and weather where you are.
