noll phillips, bbc news. you can see more on that story on the victoria derbyshire programme from ten o'clock on bbc two and the bbc news channel. we have the weather in just a moment. you will be aware that it has been extremely wet, particularly in the south—western west of england. 0ne month's worth of rain fell in the space of a few hours yesterday. because floods in kent and in medway. commuters could face further disruption today because of the bad weather. eye dragged out the kids on a dog walk yesterday. did you? they were not best pleased. codes on the radiator, all sorts. you? they were not best pleased. codes on the radiator, all sortslj went out for a run. when you're running it totally different. do you running it totally different. do you run through the puddles as well? i love that little splatter, the little splash. i hate the first battle but after that it is fine. let us find out about the puddles and rain. sarah has all the details. good morning to you. we had a few 5°99y good morning to you. we had a few soggy doggy walks yesterday. lots of puddles around. as we have seen from those pictures there has been flash flooding, thick lee across the south—east of england and parts of east anglia as well. for some it was welcome rainfall. for that part of the world it has been particularly dry through the spring. farmers and growers much—needed rainfall. it came ina growers much—needed rainfall. it came in a very short space of time, bringing the flooding problems. today further rainfall on the cards. some heavy, some persistent. it will be in slightly different areas than yesterday. low pressure driving the weather with this slow moving weather with this slow moving weather front. this is weather with this slow moving weatherfront. this is an weather with this slow moving weather front. this is an occluded front. abroad all rain yesterday in the south—east. it has nice further north with the most was across the uk. buta north with the most was across the uk. but a lot of isobars on the map. so not only wet but pretty windy. a cold north—easterly breeze for many of us. here is the rainfall image of the past few hours was you can see where the rainfall has been falling. particular cross lincolnshire, the north midlands, wales, the south—west of england. it is really this arc that will see this rain through the course of the day. there could be flooding issues, particularly for parts of lincolnshire, north—east england, parts of wales, and the south—west of england. plenty of heavy rain. also this brisk north—easterly wind. if you are stuck under the cloud and the rain with that wind only about 11 degrees or so. we could see 19 celsius in the south—east, with the reappearance of some sunshine. the chance of some heavy showers bubbling up through the day. scotla nd bubbling up through the day. scotland and northern ireland getting away with a pretty quiet picture. fairly breezy. mostly dry by one or two showers. heading through tonight and the rain shifts further northwards. it will dry up through central pulse of the midlands. turning drier county durham, towards lancashire, north wales as well. much of scotland and northern ireland as well. as we head through the course of wednesday, we've still got the same frontal system. it will just we've still got the same frontal system. it willjust be edging its way further northwards across the uk. again quite breezy. some heavy rain and blustery north—easterly winds across much of northern england. also scotland and northern ireland should see a few showers. further south across england and wales, some sunny, dry weather. also scattered hit and miss heavy showers and thunderstorms building through the day on wednesday. if you catch some of those showers there could be localised flooding problems. lots of lying service water around. but the timing is to we have the front. it sta rts timing is to we have the front. it starts to pivot. rainfall in parts of eastern scotland, down across wales and the south—west of england, showers bubbling up towards the east of that. northern ireland, i think, stay largely dry through the day on thursday. what about friday and into the weekend? we've still got low pressure with us. but the winds will tend to ease out a little bit. the isobars become further space. through the course of the weekend, further settle, showers, but warmer and a little less windy. the most popular words used by young people in their stories? 0fficialjob figures are out later this morning and they're expected to show record levels of employment in the uk. but are the headlines telling the whole story? sean's at a games developer in cambridge for us this morning. i think it looks like he is playing. good morning. iam i think it looks like he is playing. good morning. i am attempting to play. i have never been a gamer but i think play. i have never been a gamer but ithinki play. i have never been a gamer but i think i will come out this morning a little bit better. they made this ring escape mediaeval fantasy a little bit better. they made this ring escape mediaevalfantasy game hearing cambridge because we are looking at all aspects of the jobs market. they have 25jobs for every jobseeker in this area so it is a skill shortage and competitive area. right across the country when you look at the figures it is a bit more confusing. the most recent figures show that the unemployment rate is at its lowest since 1974. the number of people in work is at a record high. but some industries are doing better than others. last year, 70,000 retailjobs were lost on the high street and the car and steel industries have suffered as well. and some experts claim the numbers hide some worrying trends. although record numbers of people are in work and it is estimated around 10% are in less stable forms of employment like zero hour contracts or agency work. and thejobs bonanza is not evenly spread across the country. 0ne evenly spread across the country. one in three newjobs created in the uk over the last decade has been in london. so many people are in work but not everyone is feeling the benefit. certainly a very busy story across the country. i have nina with me this morning. just to try and see, when you see the different headlines every week of those layoffs that we just saw their yet there is record employment figures, what is going on? you look at this kind of thing. i do. and what is even more important than looking at headline figures and the unemployment rate across the economy, that is at a record low, it is a more important to look at what is happening industry by industry. certainly there are sectors that are having many hard to fill vacancies and are struggling to fill the roles they need for growth but on the other hand there are sectors where we have seen hand there are sectors where we have seen layoffs and where sectors like retail where we have seen many stores closing their outlets. so it isa stores closing their outlets. so it is a bit more of a mixed picture when you look at things in a more nuanced way. but if you work in the retail sector where jobs are under pressure at the minute is it any good to you that in an area like cambridge where they have a tech industry and it is booming, that thatis industry and it is booming, that that is looking to recruit and struggling to recruit? not really. it is all about transferable skills. if you have a skill set that are suited to one industry only and that particular industry is not doing well it will not be that helpful to you in the short—term that are vacancies in other industries. it would take a much longer time to build upa would take a much longer time to build up a new skill set, to perhaps go through education courses, to develop a new capabilities to then be able to move to industries that are doing better. stay with us this morning, there are still a lot more to talk about, especially about the sort of skills they are looking for hearing cambridge. we have the boss here who is in charge of hr and recruitment. good morning. hearing from nina there about the difference if you lose yourjob in retail and working in video development is not going to necessarily be an easy next step. what kind of skills are you looking for? are you trying to recruit 50 staff? we recruited a hundred people last year and want to do the same this year. we are a fast growth country but the skill sets we are looking for a hard to fill and ha rd to are looking for a hard to fill and hard to find. we have to recruit globally to meet the demand. it is things like engineers, programmers, developers, those tacky roles that are hard to fill. if you look at the screen here, whatever‘s going on in this mediaeval fantasy world, screen here, whatever‘s going on in this mediaevalfantasy world, what kind of skills and roles will have gone into that? everything from the people who create the platform that the game sits on all the way through to what you see, the artwork and the graphics and then decoding and development that happens in the background to bring them to life. it looks like a pretty picture on a screen but a lot of work and a lot of skill has gone into it. we live in los angeles this moaning as well at the videogame conference. —— this morning. i assume there is a link between what you do here and that massive industry. events at that is essential from an equipment perspective because it is difficult to find the skills you need in cambridge and you need to go broader. we are there at the event in order to recruit from california. there are many people from around the world who work in the games industry who assemble there at one point. that is dave in charge of recruitment here. there are a few more to recruit and the job picture is complex over the rest of the country. we will look at the different areas and whether you can actually pick up the skills if you lose a job in one area and wish to move to another. thank you. sean, we will be back a little later. thank you. literally none of those words came out correctly. it is because i was thinking about crazy golf. i do like it. crazy golf is a sport that enthusiasts take very seriously — there world championship event has been taking place in hastings and we even have a british champ. yes, and although the number of people playing golf in recent years has declined — crazy golf is booming, as david sillito reports. this event is the greatest single bowl minigolf tournament in the world. do people take it seriously? very, very, very seriously. in the small but growing world of minigolf, mark, the force, chapman is a giant. the man who can transform your game. but when wejoined the man who can transform your game. but when we joined him on this, the final round of the world crazy golf championship it was a bit tense. final round of the world crazy golf championship it was a bit tenselj championship it was a bit tense.” would be lying if i said i did not get nervous. i think it is very natural when something means a lot to you to feel the pressure. crazy golf is more than 100 years old and it has had its ups and downs but over the last year or two it has been booming. new courses have been spouting up at a time when the rather more formal official golf has seen a rather more formal official golf has seen a number of regular players drop by around 1 million. which is one reason why young jesse was at hastings she is an ambassador for golf. proper golf. iam in hastings she is an ambassador for golf. proper golf. i am in england golf. proper golf. i am in england golf ambassador so at the moment we are working to combine the two together and hope that the children who come here and play crazy golf actually think maybe i should try golf as well. meanwhile, back at the championship, the challenges were gathered. but mark... 0h, brother, mr chapman. was on fire. and then he began to falter. so marcus just dropped a shot on the 17th and it is all to play for here. the 18th hole of the world crazy golf championships 2019. if it was not held than market could lose. it was all over. our 2019 world crazy golf champion is mark chapman! so for the first time, my mum, my dad. my they are here to watch. it is quite emotional. it means a lot. it means a lot. it meant a lot la st lot. it means a lot. it meant a lot last year and it means a lot this year. mark chapman, champion. in the world of putters and windmills, he is the man to beat. that is a big moment there.” that is a big moment there. i love sport for that. so many reasons i love it. whatever your challenge, it is your challenge and he was so emotional. i am still, there is still a family dispute, we went on holiday a few years ago and we played an incredibly difficult raising of course and i was leading the family by some distance and it came toa the family by some distance and it came to a particular hole that had a circular thing going round and round and had to get a ball on the right slot. my father—in—law nailed it in one but it took me 25 shots. i know it was only crazy golf that it still mattered. whatever your sport is, if you are passionate it is not only that. i might get over it one day. later in the programme we are talking about 500 words, children across the uk writing stories and they have looked at it, the oxford university press are looking at what the words were that were most used and it was... brexit. really?! last year plastic was the word and we're talking about that and the stories they have written as well. also coming up, a lady who to be a gp and then decided to go be a present. she speaks about the people and friendships she made and interesting in terms of what she has learnt about people in prison. the preconception she had beforehand and what she would now say about the people she met. still come on the programme today, how the island of porto sa nto is programme today, how the island of porto santo is trying to combat climate change using electric car batteries. and, if it works we could all be at it. more on that later on. and forget to e—mail us and share your thoughts on our facebook page. in the meantime, let's tell you about the news, travel and the weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm asad ahmad. a mother walking with her three—year—old son asleep in a pushchair has been stabbed in broad daylight in islington, after she refused to hand over her mobile phone. christel stainfield—bruce, was approached by a teenager on friday afternoon, demanding her phone. he then stabbed her, with doctors saying the nursery teacher was lucky the knife missed a major artery. the mother of three says she was surprised her attacker was a young teenager. no arrests have been made. a transgender model from essex has been been dropped by the nspcc, three days after she was given a role as the charity's first lgbt campaigner. in herfirst interview, munroe bergdorf — one of the country's most influential transgender activists — told the bbc she wasn't given a reason why she was dropped by the children's charity. she talks about the transfer be effa ced she talks about the transfer be effaced in britain. this happens to every single trans person who speaks about what we need asa person who speaks about what we need as a community and how we need to push forward as a community and why what we are being given is not enough. being a trans person in the uk at the moment is like being a second—class citizen. drinkers at a pub in london have staged a naked singalong, in protest at a brewery‘s decision not to renew its lease. the event at the coach and horses in soho included songs such as my way, and bare necessities. the pub was established in 1847 and claims to be london's first vegetarian and vegan pub. the owners, fuller's will take over the pub later this month. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning traffic building on the a13 into town from the goresbrook interchange. drivers on the m25 are being warned of disruption after two large sinkholes appeared on the central reservation of the kent section. the motorway has just reopened in both directions. yesterday we saw 53 millimetres of rain and today we still have some sharp showers around but it will not be the persistent rain we saw yesterday. this morning there is some mist and murkiness but a couple of right spells as well. it will stay largely cloudy today with a couple of sharp showers this afternoon and if you get them you may get a rumble of thunder. the temperature today recovered from yesterday and we saw 12 or 13 celsius on monday. today it returns to 18, 19. still not very impressive but better than yesterday. 0vernight tonight, a couple of clear skies to start with but largely cloudy and that keeps the temperature mild and a minimum of between nine and 12 celsius. as we head through to wednesday still some sharp showers and bright spells for the next few days. not until friday and into the weekend when things start to settle down with the temperature improving into next week. petrie hosken is in for vanessa this morning for the breakfast show on bbc radio london. that is on until ten and i will be backin that is on until ten and i will be back in 30 minutes. good morning. welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. 0ur headlines today: and then there were ten. the final contenders to become the conservative party leader and the next prime minister set out their stalls. a call for restrictions on the use of non—disclosure agreements, saying they've created a cover—up culture to silence workers' claims of discrimination and harassment. nurseries in some poorer areas of england say they are facing closure because of a shortfall in early years funding. good morning. we have the lowest unemployment rate for decade. the headline figures don't tell the full story. i'm at a videogame developer where the recruitment isn't easy to see what is going on. in sport, northern ireland, scotland, and wales play euro 2020 qualifiers tonight, as the republic of ireland moved five points clear in their group with a 2—0 win against gibraltar. good morning. we have had heavy rain over the past 24 hours that has caused flooding problems across the south—east of england. is further northwards and westwards, but further downpours across parts of england and wales means there could be floor —— more flooding problems today. i'll be back in about 15 minutes. good morning. it's tuesday 11th june. our top story: three more conservative mps will set out their manifestos today as they aim to convince their colleagues that they're fit to be the next prime minister. ten candidates have been confirmed as official contenders to replace the current leader, theresa may, after securing the backing of at least eight other mps. so with borisjohnson remaining the front—runner — some rivals have taken a rather personal approach by criticising his plans. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is live in westminster for us this morning. the debate has already started, but just run us through what is going on. we expect more people to announce their policies today. absolutely. borisjohnson at announce their policies today. absolutely. boris johnson at the moment is the man to beat. he has, like him or loathe him, the most prominent face in this contest. and he is getting a lot of support in parliament from different wings of the conservative party as well. this morning we have the former tory leader, iain duncan smith, backing him. also the juniorjustice minister, robert buckland, any behind borisjohnson. minister, robert buckland, any behind boris johnson. two minister, robert buckland, any behind borisjohnson. two people from different parts of the conservative party saying mrjohnson is the best man to take them forward —— getting behind. johnson's tax giveaway. a lot of scrutiny over some of his plans. and criticism from rivals about his tax plan, saying it would benefit the wrong sort of people in society. and he should be looking at the lower owners to give tax cuts to. at the moment, ten people in the race, free lodging campaigns today. andrea leadsom, mark harper, and rory stewart. let's talk quickly about how we get from ten to potentially, not potentially, to one, eventually. this race will end, a promise you, at some point. 0n this race will end, a promise you, at some point. on thursday we get the first ballot of conservative mps. at that stage only 17 mps to stay in the race. that is likely to whittle down. there will be a bunch of votes before the following thursday, at which point we should be left with just two standing. at that point the two mps who are left will then go to a vote around the country, not of the public, not of everybody, of conservative members. fewer than 200,000 of them will choose who the next prime minister is. it should be the week ending the 22nd ofjuly that we get the answer to that question. find out who the new prime minister is. but before that happens a loss could change. if previous tory leadership races have told us anything, it is expect the unexpected. absolutely. we have seen things happen before. thank you very much. mps have condemned employers using gagging clauses to silence workers complaining about unlawful discrimination and harassment. maria miller, chair of the women and equalities committee, has told the bbc that non—disclosure agreements are having a destructive effect on people's lives and should be banned. rianna croxford reports. retail tycoon sir philip green exposed for using nondisclosure agreements to silence staff he's claimed to have bullied and sexually harassed. allegations he strongly denies. but they're not just tools for the rich and powerful. they're widely used across the private and public sector. so what is an nda? it's a contract to stop disclosure of confidential information, for example not revealing details to a competitor. but it's also used if you have an employment dispute. you may end up signing one in return for a payoff. mps want the government to ensure ndas aren't used to stop the terms from speaking out about unlawful discrimination and harassment at work. there has certainly been a cover—up culture when it comes to nondisclosure agreements. they're used to cover up unlawful behaviour, there're even used to cover up criminal behaviour. we can reduce the way in which they use, but in the long—term, feel very strongly that they should be banned altogether. hannah martin says she was forced out of herjob after returning from maternity leave after giving birth to her son. she called her agreement a bullying tactic. you sign away all your rights, basically, from further action to what you could actually say. it does feel very much like abuse. but you, as a victim, are silenced by that person. they have all the power. and not only has that happened to you, but you can't even talk about it. the culture of secrecy means it's unknown how many workers have signed ndas, but calls by mps for companies to collect data on this may finally reveal the true scale of the problem. rianna croxford, bbc news. nurseries in some of the poorest areas in england say they could be forced to close because they're not being paid enough to run a government policy. local authorities receive just under five pounds an hour to fund free care for three and four year olds in term time. but the early years alliance says a survey of childcare providers suggests that leaves them with a shortfall. 0livia richwald reports. if you do, the big bad mouse will be after you... this nursery in bradford serves a deprived part of yorkshire. many children need extra support. the staff are highly trained, but it's getting harder to cover the costs. 0ur funding went down, and yet costs have all increased, because national living wage and minimum wage is going up, year—on—year. it's getting tighter and tighter. free early—years education has been incredibly popular with parents, but for years now, nurseries have been telling the government they are just not getting enough money to do the kind ofjob they want to do. so, as a result, more and more nurseries are now charging parents, or asking them for a financial contribution. but, in some places, that's just not possible. parents here are asked to contribute just £12 a year for a fund, and that is paid in instalments. a survey of providers for the early years alliance found that more than 40% had cut back on buying learning resources, and almost 20% had reduced the quality of their food. they're starting to reduce the quality of staff that they recruit. they invest less into training, and they will accept less children from disadvantaged backgrounds. that surely is the complete opposite of what this government argues it should be doing in terms of social mobility. the government says it is spending £3.5 billion in early—years education this year alone, and lower—income families can get extra help via universal credit. the government is being urged to clarify whether the chinese firm huawei will be allowed to provide equipment for the uk's 5g mobile network. the country's largest phone companies — including bt, vodafone, and 02 — have drafted a letter to the head of the civil service, saying the uncertainty about the communication company's role is putting developments at risk. canada will ban single—use plastics, including bags, straws, and cutlery, by early 2021, in a bid to dramatically reduce plastic waste and protect the ea rth's oceans. prime ministerjustin trudeau announced the measures yesterday, saying the problem cannot be ignored. tim allman reports. floating almost serenely beneath the waves, this isn't a jellyfish, this isa waves, this isn't a jellyfish, this is a plastic bag. and here fish swimming through discarded netting, more sea swimming through discarded netting, more sea life endangered by man—made pollution. each year, millions of tons of plastic are dumped into the world's oceans. but, one by one, countries say they want to do something about it. plastic pollution is a global challenge. you've all heard the stories and seen you've all heard the stories and seen the photos stop and, to be honest, as a dad it's tough trying to explain this to make kids. canada alone throws out around 3 million tons of plastic waste each year. bags, straws, cutlery, things that do make life a little more convenient. but it seems people are willing to make sacrifices. convenient. but it seems people are willing to make sacrificesm convenient. but it seems people are willing to make sacrifices. if you see any pictures on the news or online of oceans of plastic and animals that are getting killed by eating it, wales, totals, et cetera, think it's stupid to have a straw for five minutes for a latte or whatever and then it goes in the ocean. i mean, whatever and then it goes in the ocean. i mean, come whatever and then it goes in the ocean. i mean, come on, give me a break. canada and the european union have a ready made commitments to dramatically reduce plastic waste in the coming years. —— already. but there is still a long way to go to clea n there is still a long way to go to clean the earth ‘s oceans. tim allman, bbc news. a british basejumper has died after reportedly losing control of his wingsuit in an italian mountain range. 32—year—old jean andre quemener jumped 3,000 foot from the edge of a peak in the dolomites. the foreign office says it is supporting his family. one person has died after a helicopter crashed onto the roof of a high—rise building in new york. workers had to be evacuated from the tower in manhattan after it caught fire but no one was hurt. officials said the incident was not linked to terrorism. nicola sturgeon is to hold talks with eu presidentjean—claude juncker and chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, as part of a visit to brussels today. the scottish first minister will use a speech to outline her government's support for continued eu membership. scottish conservative leader ruth davidson has said ms sturgeon " refuses to accept the result" of the eu referendum. amazon's warehouses will always need human staff — that's according to the firm's chief robotics technologist. the company told the bbc it uses more than 200,000 robots working in around 50 of its locations. but despite the company investing heavily in advanced robotics, tye brady said the firm's centres would never reach the point where they could be fully automated. electric cars are being used to help power a small portuguese island in the atlantic. porto santo has begun testing a scheme in which the batteries in electric vehicles are charged by solar power during the day, but at night return spare energy to the grid. it's hoped the technology could eventually be used around the world. it is 12 minutes past seven. good morning to you. we will take you back to one of the stories we have mentioned today. the policy of using children as informants in criminal investigations in england and wales will face a legal challenge at the high court today. the charityjust for kids law, which crowdfunded to pay for the case, says there are less safeguards in place for children used in undercover operations, than for those under arrest for committing a crime. neil woods, was an expert witness for the legal challenge. hejoins us now. thank you so much for coming in and talking to us about this. why and how has this practice come about? well, we should understand that this has come about, basically the use of informants for adults, 95% of them are for drugs investigations. so the use of informants like this is a tax deck for drugs policy, drugs investigations. as we have followed in the news, the growth of child exploitation for drug dealing, cou nty exploitation for drug dealing, county lines, has been growing, and this exploitation is a result of policy, that is what has brought us to this point. the response seems, from the home office, to use child informants to gather intelligence on those gangs are. what evidence do you have of how many children might and what ages are they and how many are being used in this way? that set. we don't know. there is no data on this. there have been clear indications that the home office is increasing the amount of it. there are sources within the establishment that we have let it be known that this is happening and last year, in the house of lords, the home office applied to have the length of time a child can be used without reporting from one month to four months. now, that seems clear to me that that's an indication that this is an operational prompt from the police which has caused it. do you have a concern that there might be a way that children can move into criminality themselves by being involved in this? well, not necessarily. usually it's a child or any kind of informant usually comes into the contract of the police were being arrested for an offence. that is the normal route. —— contact. deep involvement, maybe. quite possibly, yes. when we see a child that has been exploited in this way our first response should be how best can we look after this child? we shouldn't be using that child as a mechanism to maintain this failed policy. are you saying that this policy. are you saying that this policy is putting vulnerable children, teenagers, in really difficult situations, threatening situations? absolutely. the psychological impact on children is just horrifying. are used to work undercover. and as a result of a developed ptsd. and over the space of unsuccessful, many months of therapy, i learned that developing therapy, i learned that developing the ability to suppress 1's emotions at times of high risk causes mental health problems. and those mental health problems. and those mental health problems. and those mental health problems are far worse for a child than an adult. you give any weight to the argument on the other side of things that in order to infiltrate these gangs that cause issues throughout society, does that allow the potential risk to some children? we really are talking about drug investigations. almost all these informants are being used for that. it is policy that has brought us to this situation where drug dealing gangs are exploiting children. it has been cause and effect. this did not happen in the 1970s, it has been a progression because policy. so i just wonder how bad the things have to be before we change direction? the home office has given us a response who say the juvenile human covert intelligence sources are used rarely and only ever when necessary and proportionate and when there is no other less intrusive way to get the necessary information to convicted criminals or terror suspects what is your response? this court case today will challenge that because there are no rules, no safeguards in place. there is less protection for child in used as an informant than there is for a suspect child in custody. my view is that children should never be used. it can never be justified in this way and i hope that this court case will conclude that today. there will be many things on social media today about this and i just be many things on social media today about this and ijust hope that people contact their politicians and journalists and let them know what they feel. an expert witness for that legal challenge, thank you very much for your time. that legal challenge, thank you very much foryourtime. shortly that legal challenge, thank you very much for your time. shortly we will look at the papers but the weather has been extremely wet in the south—east and east of england. a month's worth of rain fell in the space ofjust a few hours yesterday causing flash floods in kent and medway. commuters could face further disruption today because of the bad weather. how about for the rest of us? sarah can tell us all about it. good morning to you. a lot of heavy rain around the south—east yesterday coming off the back of what was a dry spring across the south—east of england and parts of eastern england as well. all that heavy rain for some people was welcome rainfall but the ground was quite hard so heavy downpours in a short space of time meant flash flooding. we have the rains with us still but it is moving northwards and westwards. this is the picture this morning from one of our weather watchers in cambridge. still a lot of big puddles and lots of surface water, leave some extra time for a journey this morning. further rain around today, slow moving again but it will be clearing away from the south—east of england and east anglia. here is the troublemaker, this weather front, occluded front ringing the rain. a big area of low pressure sitting to the south and a lot of isobars on the south and a lot of isobars on the map. not only will it be wet but we will see quite a cold north—easterly wind developing as well. here is the recent rainfall raider showing where we had downfalls recently, particularly heavy for the likes of lincolnshire and north midlands through wales down to the south—west of england. it is this arc that will continue to see the heaviest of the rain through the course of the day. combine that with this chilly north—easterly breeze so we will not feel pleasant if you are underneath the weather fronted towards the south and south—east it is dry through the day, just a few showers, fairly hit and miss. temperatures in the sunshine reaching 19 degrees. the far north of england and northern ireland, scotland having a quiet day with accomplish ours and north—easterly breeze. —— with a couple of showers. we have the rain once again slowly nudging further northwards and westwards, but securely heavy rain for the north—east of england as we had through tonight into the early hours of wednesday so there could be more flooding problems across parts of north—east england and north wales. particularly heavy downpours over the next 24 it will be slow moving through much of the week and the weather fronted once again brings heavy rain through the day tomorrow but it will be further north once again. for the likes of northumberland and county durham towards northern ireland we will see some showers. further south for england and wales, sunny spells and scattered hit and miss heavy thunderstorms so there could be hail and some localised lying surface water. by the time we get to thursday, still simmering for parts of eastern scotland down through wales, the south—west of england as well. for central and eastern england it will be a day of sunshine and, again, scattered heavy downpours perhaps a thunderstorm mixed in as well. draft north island. looking towards the end of the week, friday into the weekend, we still have low pressure not far away but there are a few isobars on the map so as we had through friday towards the weekend, still fairly u nsettled towards the weekend, still fairly unsettled and there will be some showers around but also some dry periods in between, a little warmer and a little less windy. certainly compared to the next few days. watch out for the potential of flooding today. thank you very much, sarah. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. the decision by the bbc to scrap free licence fees for all over 75s is all over the front pages. the daily mirror leads on the decision by the bbc to means test free television licences for over—75s. they call the move cool saying that millions will lose out with only those on pension credits will be exempt. you can respond to us about this if you like. the metro is one of several papers to focus on comments made by the environment secretary michael gove as he launched his bid to become the next conservative leader. the telegraph leads on the same story, accusing michael gove of attacking borisjohnson in a desperate bid to divert attention from his own admission of cocaine use. and the guardian says mr gove has "come out fighting" and pledged "i can still win". and one of the most viewed stories on the bbc news website overnight was about a video which has gone viral. it shows a cement lorry driver who stopped to help an elderly woman to cross a road in birmingham. the driver, manilo wilson, later said he was simply doing what he was taught to do while growing up in the caribbean island of st vincent. a lovely video that. he makes sure she is safe across the road. and it does it with respect and care. let us does it with respect and care. let us know what you think about these stories as well as the story about the bbc this morning. in 20 minutes time we will talk to somebody who was involved in the consultation process that led to this decision.” did not know that there were 190,000 people consulted and it is the old 5248% divide again. 52 were in favour of abolishing and 48% wanted than to continue. a close decision, let us know what you think. the little island of porto santo, near madeira, has big aspirations to become the first energy independent island, using no fossil fuels. it's trying to do it by using batteries which run electric cars by day, to power the island by night. 0ur energy and environment analyst, roger harrabin, reports from the island. the savage beauty of porto santo a tt ra cts the savage beauty of porto santo attracts tourists to love nature. people need energy in the way it is generated here is damaging nature. this pollution is coming from the diesel generator that powers the island's homes. transporting the diesel is expensive and it is fuelling climate change. the local government want clean and renewable energy instead. but wind power and solar power ebb and flow. so they need a way of storing energy for use at night time. here is the chosen solution. the electric car. but not as we know it. in future, electric vehicles here will be fitted with a reversible battery that stores energy for the electricity grid. so how does a reversible battery work? when the sun is shining, the electricity flows out of the grid, down the cable and into the car. it is stored in the battery until night time when it flows back out of the car, up the cable and into the grid to power people ‘s homes. it is a huge innovation. the car is smart so it keeps enough power for itself to be driven. a car you only use part—time for its mobility function and the rest the time it is available next to an electricity grid to be used for the grid. the firm that is installing the reversible battery system believes the technology will transform our relationship with our cars. so what we're doing here is exciting because normally you think if you want a car cost a fortune, a lot of muggy. if you have a car that feeds energy into the grid you can earn muggy during the time when there is no renewable energy available to give feedback and earn muggy. it changes the deal of owning a car. on the island, some police are already powered by electricity. to run an effective backup for the local grid, half the cars on the island, like this electric taxi, will need to store power as well as using. so is this the road to the future? well, a couple of years ago if you had suggested that car batteries could play a major part in supporting an electricity grid many people would have laughed. but that is exactly what has happened. the electricity revolution is going to create a lot more surprises. and they certainly had the sunshine for a backdated fascinating. could be a great experiment we could all get involved in in years to come. still to come this morning: sean's taking a look atjob figures this morning, and why the headlines might not tell the full story — morning sean, where are you? good morning. iam in cambridge good morning. i am in cambridge this morning, such a different picture wherever you look. here we have video games and gaming and skills required for that. it is difficult to recruit those people so there is a shortage. 25jobs for everyjob seeker in cambridge they want people to turn these swords from traffic designers into artist into what you can see around us. so designers into artist into what you can see around us. so why is the unemployment rate the lowest it has been right across the country when it the same time we see a slew of companies saying thousands ofjobs will be laid off? we will look at all that and i will be learning how to play this game, to improve my skills. let's get the news, travel and the weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm asad ahmad. a mother walking with her three—year—old son asleep in a pushchair has been stabbed in broad daylight in islington. christel stainfield—bruce, was approached by a teenager on friday afternoon demanding her mobile phone. when she refused to hand it over, he stabbed her, with doctors saying the nursery teacher was lucky the knife missed a major artery. the mother of threesays she was surprised her attacker was a young teenager. no arrests have been made. a transgender model from essex has been been dropped by the nspcc, three days after she was given a role as the charity's first lgbt campaigner. in herfirst interview, munroe bergdorf — one of the country's most influential transgender activists — told the bbc she wasn't given a reason why she was dropped by the children's charity. munroe talks about the transphobia faced in britain. this happens to every single trans person who speaks about what we need as a community and how we need to push forward as a community and why what we are being given is not enough. being a trans person in the uk at the moment is like being a second—class citizen. and you can see more of that interview on our website. drinkers at a pub in london have staged a naked singalong, in protest at a brewery‘s decision not to renew its lease. the event at the coach and horses in soho included songs such as my way, and bare necessities. the pub was established in 1847 and claims to be london's first vegetarian and vegan pub. the owners, fuller's will take over the pub later this month. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning minor delays on the overground. two sink holes on the central reservation of the m25 in kent have caused long queues, but we understand that the road is reopen in both directions. it was closed for some time overnight between junctions 4 and 5. those cues are going back to the da rtford those cues are going back to the dartford tunnel. now the weather with kate. yesterday we saw 53 millimetres of rain and today we still have some sharp showers around but it will not be the persistent rain we saw yesterday. this morning there is some mist and murkiness but a couple of right spells as well. it will stay largely cloudy today with a couple of sharp showers this afternoon and if you get them you may get a rumble of thunder. the temperature today recovered from yesterday and we saw 12 or 13 celsius on monday. today it returns to 18, 19. still not very impressive but better than yesterday. 0vernight tonight, a couple of clear skies to start with but largely cloudy and that keeps the temperature mild and a minimum of between nine and 12 celsius. as we head through to wednesday still some sharp showers and bright spells for the next few days. not until friday and into the weekend when things start to settle down with the temperature improving into next week. petrie hosken is in for vanessa feltz this morning for the breakfast show on bbc radio london. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. andrea leadsom, mark harper, and rory stewart will set out their manifestos today as they continue their campaigns to be the next conservative leader and prime minister. the group of ten candidates will be whittled down to two by a series of mp votes over the next few weeks. the final pair will then face a ballot of the wider party membership. we should know the winner by the end ofjuly. mps have condemned the cover—up culture among employers using gagging clauses to silence workers complaining about unlawful discrimination and harassment. maria miller, chair of the women and equalities committee, has told the bbc non—disclosure agreements are having a destructive effect on people's lives and should be banned. they were originally designed to stop staff sharing trade secrets if they changed jobs. nurseries in some of the poorest areas in england say they could be forced to close because they're not being paid enough to run a government policy. local authorities receive just under five pounds an hour to fund free care for three— and four—year—olds in term time. but the early years alliance says a survey of childcare providers suggests that leaves them with a shortfall. the department for education said it spent three and a half billion pounds a year on early education. the government is being urged to clarify whether the chinese firm huawei will be allowed to provide equipment for the uk's 5g mobile network. the country's largest phone companies — including bt, vodafone, and 02 — have drafted a letter to the head of the civil service, saying the uncertainty about the communication company's role is putting developments at risk. the home office is facing a high court challenge over the use of children as spies by police and other investigative bodies. children's charityjust for kids law says the use of children as undercover intelligence sources lacks clear safeguards. the government says the welfare of the young person is the paramount consideration but the charity still has concerns. if they are put in a situation where they are asked to collect covert information on behalf of very dangerous, serious criminals, then it can result in them becoming ensnared, trapped in a dangerous relationship that can lead to them being further criminalised, further exploited, causing them greater trauma and distress and really damaging them emotionally and even physically. canada will ban single—use plastics, including bags, straws, and cutlery, by early 2021, in a bid to dramatically reduce plastic waste and protect the ea rth's oceans. prime ministerjustin trudeau announced the measures yesterday, saying the problem cannot be

children's charity has cut ties with munroe bergdorf, one of the uk's most high—profile transgender activists. her appointment as the charity's first lgbt campaigner had been criticised by some on twitter, with her appointment called "inappropriate". the nspcc has not explained exactly why it made the decision and ms bergdorf says she is still in the dark about why it happened. this happens to every single trans person that speaks about what we need as a community, how we need to push forward as a community, and why what we are being given is not enough. being a trans person in the uk at the moment is like being a second—class citizen. nicola sturgeon is to hold talks with eu presidentjean—claude juncker and chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, as part of a visit to brussels today. the scottish first minister will use a speech to outline her government's support for continued eu membership. scottish conservative leader ruth davidson has said ms sturgeon " refuses to accept the result" of the eu referendum. amazon's warehouses will always need human staff — that's according to the firm's chief robotics technologist. the company told the bbc it uses more than 200,000 robots working in around 50 of its locations. but despite the company investing heavily in advanced robotics, tye brady said the firm's centres would never reach the point where they could be fully automated. it is 7:34. plenty more to come on bbc breakfast. john is here looking at this tuesday morning sport. plenty to get through. the women's world cup on at the moment. significant results from england and scotland's group. that is in the euro 2020 qualifying action. the republic of ireland played last night. a big win for them. they built gibraltar 2—0. the republic, left frustrated for much of the match, won it through an own goal, and robbie brady's injury time header. leaving them top, gibraltar are bottom. northern ireland can maintain their 100% start to qualifying with a win it's three from three after beating estonia on saturday, they're away to belarus tonight and need to rack up the points as they play germany and the netherlands in the autumn. we work off the assumption that the other two, the big nations won't drop points against estonia and belarus and that will mean that we also won't drop points. it takes as long in the group of three. that means we have huge games look forward to. that is the task was set the place in march. we are one game away from putting ourselves in a strong position. scotland's position improved after their win over cyprus on saturday in what was manager steve clarke's first in charge. they're third but face a tough trip to play belgium. and wales, also third, play leaders hungary in budapest. there will be three thousand seats shut off after the hosts were punished by uefa for racist chanting during a game earlier this year. -- 3000. i've talked about before about sanctions on racism are not strong enough. they should be stronger. but for me, yeah, it is all about concentrating on the game really. i've got enough to worry about with the game and winning this game. but, yeah, we hope that all the fans behave, as always, and all the games, properly and how they should. at the women's world cup england have a two point cushion at the top of their group, as their next opponents argentina could only draw with former winners japan. )the japanese are bidding to reach a third consecutive final but were left frustrated throughout as it finished goalless, england the only team in group d to win their opening match. canada managed a win their opening match beating cameroon 1—0. kadeisha buchanan, voted the best young player at the last world cup, with the only goal. to the cricket world cup and a boost for england. wicketkeeperjos buttler is responding well to treatment on a bruised hip and will train with the squad tomorrow ahead of friday's game with west indies. south africa's hopes of making it out of the group stage are fading after their match against west indies was abandoned due to rain yesterday. the covers came on in the eighth over in southampton, leaving south african with one point after losing their first three matches. they'll probably need to win their remaining five games to stand any chance of reaching the semi—finals. we are in this position because we haven't played our best cricket. so we don't deserve to be anywhere close to the top. but it is very clear for us as a team we need to be on our best and we need to play well in the next five games. and if that wasn't enough for you... big summer of cycling, too, chris froome and simon yates have begun to move towards the leaders in the criterium du dauphine, which acts as a warm—up to the tour de france. froome moved up to eighth in the general classification with fellow brit yates in 10th, froome is using the race as a build—up to the tour, where he'll be chasing a record—equalling fifth victory. now we talked before about what a great summer of sport it could be. it certainly would be for tiger woods if he could win his second major of the season. he's already of course won the masters back in april and here's tiger playing the front nine of pebble beach in preparation for the us open which starts on thursday. woods won the first of his three us 0pen championships at pebble beach 19 years ago. we can see him here. a nice picture on the front page of the sports pull—out in the daily telegraph, getting to grips with the local wildlife. we can see tiger woods there. and a little deer living in there. and a little deer living in the background. and a beautiful yacht in the background. and in florida we see alligators on the course all the time. but a deer in california. in around 2000 he was at the peak of his powers. he was unstoppable. we were thinking with the pga, he miss the cut at the pga, his second major, what is he going to do now? never write him off. thank you. thank you very much. the bbc is getting some fierce criticism after yesterday's announcement that people over 75 will have to start paying for their licence fee, unless they're getting pension credit. then they will get it for free. lord 0'donnell, who used to be the head of the civil service, works for a company called frontier economics which has done some work on this issue for the bbc. he joins us now from our london newsroom. you were part of that whole process, looking at what could be done about free licenses for the over 75 ‘s. given what the bbc has said, was that the only option? no. we prepared various options for the bbc. one would be to keep going with a concession for everybody, but would have meant a 20% cut in the bbc‘s budget, which would have meant massive reductions in the schedule, getting rid of channels, which all license fee payers would have been hurt by. so there were various options at out there, and the one about means testing, via the pension credit, was thought to be the fa i rest, credit, was thought to be the fairest, because it concentrates the help on those who need it most stop and those who need it most, as defined not by the bbc, but by government to set the threshold for pension credit. as it stands, many, many thousands of people will have to start paying for their licence fee. there is real concern it will affect vulnerable people. what is your view on that with yellow yes. think is a possibility. it's really important. 0ne think is a possibility. it's really important. one of the problems with pension credit is the take—up rate is only about 60%. 40% of people who are eligible for pension credit who don't take it up. it is really important that one of the side—effects this decision should be for everybody out there, the poorest pensioners, to be thinking is there pensioners, to be thinking is there pension credit money that i could lame that i'm at the moment? and if they do that, actually, they will be enormously better off, pension credit amounts are bigger than the amount of the bbc licence does make that i could claim. so they would actually have to claim it rather than just actually have to claim it rather thanjust being actually have to claim it rather than just being eligible for it in order to get a free license with yellow that is the way it is at the moment. to get pension credit you have to claim i am saying there are a number of people eligible for it who haven't claimed. that, i think, from a social policy point of view, is very, very bad. the government says if you are below this income level and are a certain age then you should be getting this money. and at the moment take—up is woefully low and is to be increased. we have a government response, i am sure and is to be increased. we have a government response, i am sure you are aware of, we want the bbc to look at further ways to support older people. what is your response to that? the bbc has to manage its budget within the licence fee settlement. so if the government is saying that, actually, it wants to help for older pensioners or older pensioners in general they have perfectly good policy vehicles where they could do that. for example, the state pension, pension credit level itself. there are lots of things they could do if that is what they genuinely want to do. these things should be done by governments. the bbc has to manage its budget and it was given this during the licence for negotiations, so it has managed its budget in a way which it thinks is fairfor its budget in a way which it thinks is fair for everybody. so its budget in a way which it thinks is fairfor everybody. so not its budget in a way which it thinks is fair for everybody. so not having dramatic up, trying to get efficiency savings, but this will cost them quite a loss, still, because they will have to give free licenses for around, at the moment, 900,000, but i hope more people as more people claim pension credit and become eligible, that would be good. the government also said, regarding budget, "taxpayers want to see the bbc using licence fee income better, including restraint on salaries for senior staff". could that make up the numbers? no. the bottom line of thatis the numbers? no. the bottom line of that is whoever did that needs a lesson in maths. the numbers, even if you restricted, all the senior presenters and all the managers to their salaries at much lower than they are now, you still wouldn't make a dent of any significant magnitude in the 750 million cost of this concession. i'm afraid that just doesn't add up. what would your message be to people watching us today who might have to start paying and worry about that? what would your message be? my message would be the alternative was it have a much reduced bbc. and, yes, there is a real question as to whether it was appropriate for the government to do this. you know, if the government really cares about this the government could make a decision to ta ke government could make a decision to take this back and say, actually, we made a mistake, we think all 75s and over should have a free tv licence and we will take responsibility for this. thank you very much your time here in bbc breakfast this morning. and thank you for your comments and questions you have been sending in on that this morning. most of them are against the decision. we will read your view. all e—mails to say the bbc is deservedly on the receiving end of a huge public backlash scrapping free tv licences for the over 75s. but he says the blame should be shared with the government, which is what our guest was just government, which is what our guest wasjust mentioning. tom says once again pensioners have to take the hit. if the bbc gave us is that quality programmes may not be so bad. but many of us won't even watch the bbc. another broken promise by government. some people are supporting the change, including xena, who e—mails to say her 87—year—old dad is happy to play the tv licence, and agrees that free licenses should only be for those who are less well off and on state benefits. to keep the comments coming in. you know how to contact us on coming in. you know how to contact us on twitter and social media. it is 7:45. thousands of vulnerable people with severe medical conditions are missing out on state funded care they are legally entitled to after leaving hospital. the parliamentary and health service 0mbudsman investigated nearly 500 complaints about the funding in 2018. campaigners say the figures highlight an attempt by health officials to cut spending on the care. we're joined now by lloyd tingley, chair of the continuing healthcare alliance, a group of different organisations which aim to improve healthcare provided by the nhs. good morning to you. again, another story involving concern for vulnerable people. it is a disappointing scenario. continuing healthcare should be offered to those who are potentially deteriorating and had a severe life impact with an illness affecting them. the continuing healthcare alliance is a group of over 17 charities who have come together to try and tackle this injustice. there are many issues with continuing healthcare in the way it is assessed. the multidiscipline pulley teams of health officials go out to conduct these assessments and they do not know enough about people ‘s conditions to effectively assess them and come to the right decision around eligibility. we see local nhs commissioners not follow the right procedures. is there a case as well of some funding being available but people not knowing how to get hold of it? continuing healthcare is hidden in the nhs system. it is people that make something people are not told about. if you have had are not told about. if you have had a spinal injury or you live with a condition like parkinson's then what will happen is you will need 24—hour ca re will happen is you will need 24—hour care sometimes and, potentially have a terminal illness and not being told about this funding is a real issue. people are forking out hundreds of thousands of pounds a year from hundreds of thousands of pounds a yearfrom their hundreds of thousands of pounds a year from their own pocket when the funding does exist and shall be provided for free funding does exist and shall be provided forfree on funding does exist and shall be provided for free on the nhs. how do you get people to know that and to get a ccess ? you get people to know that and to get access? it should come from a health professional, really. 0bviously they are busy in the nhs and there is a lot going on so it comes to more funding for health professionals and better structure within the nhs to make sure they are equipped to tell people about this. if people go into hospital and they have a condition that deteriorates or they are diagnosed with parkinson's, they should told about this straightaway. if not, we are also trying to raise awareness ourselves about continuing healthcare and you can call your local nhs commissioning group and request an appraisal. there is good collaborative work going on with the nhs at the moment. a meeting with them and the department of health to make sure that these important changes of brought about to the tools applied to assessment. the checklist is one of the methods used to assess people and we are calling for a review of it to ensure that it more adequately reflects when people should get continuing healthcare. thank you very much for your time. you can see more on that story on the victoria derbyshire programme from ten o'clock on bbc two and the bbc news channel. will you be on the programme as well? no. no! will you be on the programme as well? no. no i am not. exclusive to us well? no. no i am not. exclusive to us than. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. some places have had some dry sunny places that make weather but torrential downpour ‘s father's. flash flooding across kent and this was the scene this morning in cambridgeshire so there is still heavy rain around it doing the course of today but in slightly different areas then we saw the rain yesterday. what we have is low pressure with us through the course of the week, bringing torrential downpours yesterday, down to the slow—moving weather front here. edging its way for the north—western, slowly across the country. plenty of isobars across the map and a cold north—easterly wind blowing. here is the recent radar showing where we had the rain over the last few hours, particularly heavy for lincolnshire and nottinghamshire down towards wealth in the south—west of england and it is this arc across england and it is this arc across england and wales that will continue to seek heavy rain through today so there could be flooding impact across parts of north—east england down towards north wales, the south—west of england and the midlands as well, combined with that north—easterly breeze so it will not feel pleasant. if you are stuck under the cloud and rain, temperatures at 11 or 12 degrees. drier towards the south—east of england with 19 celsius but still a chance of a few heavy afternoon showers. the finals of england, scotland and northern ireland stay dry with just a couple of showers in the north. breezy as we had through tonight across parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england so a mild night but that rain continues. flooding problems early wednesday across the north—east of england as a slow—moving rain band accumulates over the next 24 hours also. through the day on wednesday low pressure remains with us sitting towards the south and again we have occluded weather fronts, edging south and again we have occluded weatherfronts, edging ever so slowly for the northwood through the day on wednesday the areas that will see the heaviest of the rain will be across the north—east of england, parts of southern scotland and northern ireland also seen showers. further south to england and wales it will be a dry day with sunshine become the afternoon, heavy thunderstorms and showers bubble up again so there could be a lot of lying surface water and big titles around there over the next few days. into thursday on the front are still us into thursday on the front are still us ofa into thursday on the front are still us of a case of deja vu. it will pivot to bring more rain for eastern scotla nd pivot to bring more rain for eastern scotland down towards wales in the south—west of england. to the east of that, sunshine and heavy scattered showers and some thunderstorms with hail mixed in as well. temperature still not great. as we head towards friday and into the weekend perhaps a slight improvement for a time. we have still got low pressure close by sitting out towards the west. u nsettled sitting out towards the west. unsettled as we head towards the end of the week but some dry spells in between the showers and temperatures will start to recover a little bit and it will become less windy by the end of the week. not a complete write—off but plenty more heavy downpours over the next few days. 0fficialjob figures are out later this morning and they're expected to show record levels of employment in the uk. but are the headlines telling the whole story? sean's at a games developer in cambridge for us this morning. i have come to the gaming cave. they do have one here. there is even rules that people must abide by. that is because there is a lot of testing that goes on by the cave men and women of this company where dave lomax is in charge of recruitment. a different picture for the jobs market across the country. for you quys market across the country. for you guys it is difficulty in recruiting the people you need in the uk. what needs to happen in the uk for you to be able to get the developers you need? for the uk it starts with education. it is about letting kids know that videogames is a viable career choice. a host of skills and professions that you can choose that fit within our industry. this is an opportunity for kids. i will let you carrying on monitoring your team and how they do this morning. it is a complicated picture. we have two playing here hard. but if you work ina playing here hard. but if you work in a different sector across the country the picture can be different. the most recent figures show that the unemployment rate is added lowest since 1974. and the number of people in work is at a record high. however, some industries are doing better than others. last year, 70,000 retailjobs were lost on high street. and the car steel industry suffered as well. and some experts claim the numbers hide some worrying trends. although record numbers of people are in work it is estimated around 10% are in less stable forms of employment like zero hours contract or agency work. and the jobs bonanza is not evenly spread across the country. one in three new jobs created in the uk over the last decade has been in london. so many people are in work but not everyone is feeling the benefits. come back into the live streaming room now to talk to kate. you are having a bit of a game while we were in the other room? just a bit. it is not all booming like the tech industry here is. what is it that you think is going on in recruitment across the country? if people lost theirjob in retail, what should they think exactly that. there are a decline in some roles in retail and construction, that is what recruiters tell us to but at the top end, engineering and it they are still strongly recruiting. it is a case of looking at what is available in your local region but also having the ability and willingness to travel and think about whether there is something you could do to up skill or train, look at apprenticeships. the demand is high for those places and competition is stiff. it is a case of having those conversations with colleges and employers to see what is available. willing to travel means a lower standard of living then you may have been used to before. do people need to make big sacrifices to stay and work? not yet. wage inflation has been low and one of the things it does happen is that if you movejobs thatis does happen is that if you movejobs that is where you get some uplift. starting salaries are still increasing if you move to a new permanentjob to also if you were contemporaries lot work, hourly pay rates are still going up because the demand is still so high for people. 0ne demand is still so high for people. one thing about the tech system —— sector that we can see here is the willingness to get involved. is it difficult as it seems? it seems to be dominated by men. there are more women gamers than men according to some studies and initiatives... that is playing the games? yes. so you do wa nt is playing the games? yes. so you do want women to be creating and developing the games and some initiative have been set up. some have been set up specifically to encourage young girls to think about gaming asa encourage young girls to think about gaming as a career in the future. we will talk more about how that may happen a bit later and how you may become a developer, particularly if you work in retail or the steel industry or the car industry, you may think that this is not an industry for me but there are some interesting ways into the tech centre —— sector. you don't necessarily need to be a gamer from a young age. good morning from bbc london news, i'm asad ahmad. a mother walking with her three—year—old son asleep in a pushchair has been stabbed in broad daylight in islington. christel stainfield—bruce, was approached by a teenager on friday afternoon demanding her mobile phone. when she refused to hand it over, he stabbed her, with doctors saying the nursery teacher was lucky the knife missed a major artery. the mother of three says she was surprised her attacker was a young teenager. no arrests have been made. a transgender model from essex has been been dropped by the nspcc, three days after she was given a role as the charity's first lgbt campaigner. in herfirst interview, munroe bergdorf — one of the country's most influential transgender activists — told the bbc she wasn't given a reason why she was dropped by the children's charity. munroe talks about the transphobia faced in britain. this happens to every single trans person who speaks about what we need as a community and how we need to push forward as a community and why what we are being given is not enough. being a trans person in the uk at the moment is like being a second—class citizen. and you can see more of that interview on our website. drinkers at a pub in london have staged a naked singalong, in protest at a brewery‘s decision not to renew its lease. the event at the coach and horses in soho included songs such as my way, and bare necessities. the pub was established in 1847 and claims to be london's first vegetarian and vegan pub. the owners, fuller's will take over the pub later this month. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning the overground the overg round does the overground does have minor delays due to a signal failure. two sink holes on the central reservation of the m25 in kent have caused long queues, but the road has reopened in both directions. there are currently delays going back to the dartford tunnel. in hertfordshire, a1m is closed southbound between junction 7 and junction 6 due to a serious collision. now the weather with kate. yesterday we saw 53 millimetres of rain and today we still have some sharp showers around but it will not be the persistent rain we saw yesterday. this morning there is some mist and murkiness but a couple of right spells as well. it will stay largely cloudy today with a couple of sharp showers this afternoon and if you get them you may get a rumble of thunder. the temperature today recovered from yesterday and we saw 12 or 13 celsius on monday. today it returns to 18, 19. still not very impressive but better than yesterday. 0vernight tonight, a couple of clear skies to start with but largely cloudy and that keeps the temperature mild and a minimum of between nine and 12 celsius. as we head through to wednesday still some sharp showers and bright spells for the next few days. not until friday and into the weekend when things start to settle down with the temperature improving into next week. don't forget that interview about transphobia is on good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. 0ur headlines today: and then there were ten — the final contenders to become the conservative party leader and the next prime minister set out their stalls. a call for restrictions on the use of non—disclosure agreements, saying they've created a cover—up culture to silence workers' claims of discrimination and harassment. nurseries in some poorer areas of england say they are facing closure because of a shortfall in early years funding. we have the lowest unemployment rate for decades, but at the same time companies are laying off thousands of staff around the country. the headline figures do not tell the whole story, that is why i am at a fa ntasy whole story, that is why i am at a fantasy video game developer, where equipment is not easy, to see what is going on. in sport, northern ireland, scotland and wales play euro 2020 qualifiers tonight, as the republic of ireland moved five points clear in their group with a 2—0 win against gibraltar. good morning. heavy rain yesterday caused flooding and travel disruption across parts of south—east england. more heavyweight today further north across england and across wales, too. details on around 15 minutes —— more heavy rain today. it's tuesday 11th june. our top story: three more conservative mps will set out their manifestos today as they aim to convince their colleagues that they're fit to be the next prime minister. ten candidates have been confirmed as official contenders to replace the current leader, theresa may, after securing the backing of at least eight other mps. that took place yesterday. so with borisjohnson remaining the frontrunner — some rivals have taken a rather personal approach by criticising his plans. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is live in westminster for us this morning. it will be some time until they whittled it down? boris johnson is undoubtedly the frontrunner, the man to patch. like all those him, he is the most prominent face and the man with the backing of most mps in parliament at the moment. —— like him or loathe him. former conservative leader iain duncan smith this morning said he is getting behind mrjohnson, and from the other wing of the party when it comes to brexit, thejuniorjustice minister robert buckland has thrown his lot in with team johnson as well. but its rivals are starting to crank up the pressure on some of his policies. in the times paper it is tory rivals denouncejohnson's tax giveaway, criticism of his plans to giveaway, criticism of his plans to give tax cuts to higher earners. some rivals say that is not the right priority. mrjohnson is getting criticism for not being particularly prominent, we have not seen particularly prominent, we have not seen much of him on telly or on the radio in recent days, so criticism for him, as his rivals say, hiding in his bunker. let's talk about how we get from the current ten to a prime minister in mid—july. 0n thursday there will be the first ballot of conservative mps, you will need 17 to stay in the race at that point. i another —— there will be another bunch of ballads and by next thursday they hope it is done to the final two, there is a vote around the country, not of the public at large but people signed up to the conservative party, and by the week beginning july 22 the plan is to have a new prime minister in pace. there is a long way to go, three launches happening today, andrea leadsom, rory stewart and mark harper. if tory leadership race is in the past have told us anything, it is expected unexpected, there is a long way to go. the bbc is facing fierce criticism over its decision to scrap free tv licences for all pensioners. from next year, only low—income households where one person receives the pension credit benefit will still be eligible. responsibility for funding the licences will be transferred from the government to the broadcaster injune 2020. the bbc said fairness was at the heart of the ruling. lord 0'donnell, who has done research for the bbc on the issue, said those who need it most will still get it for free. 0ne one of the side—effects of this decision should be for everybody and there, the poorest pensioners, to be thinking is their pension credit money i could claim that i am not at the moment? if they do that babel probably be enormously better off, because pension credit amounts are much bigger than the amount of the bbc licence fee. mps have condemned employers using gagging clauses to silence workers complaining about unlawful discrimination and harassment. maria miller, chair of the women and equalities committee, has told the bbc that non—disclosure agreements are having a destructive effect on people's lives and should be banned. rianna croxford reports. retail tycoon sir philip green exposed for using nondisclosure agreements to silence staff he's claimed to have bullied and sexually harassed. allegations he strongly denies. but they're not just tools for the rich and powerful. they're widely used across the private and public sector. so what is an nda? it's a contract to stop disclosure of confidential information, for example not revealing details to a competitor. but it's also used if you have an employment dispute. you may end up signing one in return for a payoff. mps want the government to ensure ndas aren't used to stop victims from speaking out about unlawful discrimination and harassment at work. there has certainly been a cover—up culture when it comes to nondisclosure agreements. they're used to cover up unlawful behaviour, they're even used to cover up criminal behaviour. we can reduce the way in which they're used, but in the long—term, feel very strongly that they should be banned altogether. hannah martin says she was forced out of herjob after returning from maternity leave after giving birth to her son. she called her agreement a bullying tactic. you sign away all your rights, basically, from further action to what you could actually say. it does feel very much like abuse. but you, as a victim, are silenced by that person. they have all the power. and not only has that happened to you, but you can't even talk about it. the culture of secrecy means it's unknown how many workers have signed ndas, but calls by mps for companies to collect data on this may finally reveal the true scale of the problem. rianna croxford, bbc news. nurseries in some of the poorest areas in england say they could be forced to close because they're not being paid enough to run a government policy. local authorities receive just under £5 an hour to fund free care for three and four—year—olds in term time. but the early years alliance says a survey of childcare providers suggests that leaves them with a shortfall. 0livia richwald reports. if you do, the big, bad mouse will be after you. this nursery in bradford serves a deprived part of yorkshire. many children need extra support. the staff are highly trained but it's getting harder to cover the costs. 0ur funding went down and yet our costs have all increased because national living wage and minimum wage is going up, year—on—year. it's getting tighter and tighter. free early years education has been incredibly popular with parents, but for years now nurseries have been telling the government they're just not getting enough money to do the kind ofjob they want to do. so, as a result, more and more nurseries are now charging parents or asking them for a financial contribution. but in some places, that's just not possible. parents here are asked to contribute just £12 a year for a farm trip, and that's paid in instalments. a survey of more than 350 providers for the early years alliance found that more than 40% had cut back on buying learning resources and almost 20% had reduced the quality of their food. they're starting to reduce the quality of staff that they recruit, they invest less into training and they will accept less children from disadvantaged backgrounds. that surely is the complete opposite of what this government argues it should be doing in terms of social mobility. the government says it's spending £3.5 billion on early years education this year alone, and lower income families can get extra help via universal credit. 0livia richwald, bbc news, bradford. the government is being urged to clarify whether the chinese firm huawei will be allowed to provide equipment for the uk's 5g mobile network. the country's largest phone companies — including bt, vodafone, and 02 — have drafted a letter to the head of the civil service, saying the uncertainty about the communication company's role is putting developments at risk. the nspcc children's charity has cut ties with munroe bergdorf, one of the uk's most high—profile transgender activists. her appointment as the charity's first lgbt campaigner had been criticised by some on twitter, with her appointment called "inappropriate". the nspcc has not explained exactly why it made the decision and ms bergdorf says she is still in the dark about why it happened. this happens to every single trans person that speaks about what we need is a community, how we need to push forward as a community and why what we are being given is not enough. being a trans person in the uk at the moment it's like being a second—class citizen. the home office is facing a high court challenge over the use of children as spies by police and other investigative bodies. children's charityjust for kids law says the use of children as undercover intelligence sources lacks clear safeguards. the government says the welfare of the young person is the paramount consideration but the charity still has concerns. if they are put in a situation where they are asked to collect covert information on behalf of very dangerous, serious criminals, then it can result in them becoming ensnared, trapped in a dangerous relationship that can lead to them being further criminalised, further exploited, causing them greater trauma and distress and really damaging them emotionally and even physically. nicola sturgeon is to hold talks with eu presidentjean—claude juncker and chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, as part of a visit to brussels today. the scottish first minister will use a speech to outline her government's support for continued eu membership. scottish conservative leader ruth davidson has said ms sturgeon refuses to accept the result of the eu referendum. a british basejumper has died after reportedly losing control of his wingsuit in an italian mountain range. 32—year—old jean andre quemener jumped 3,000 foot from the edge of a peak in the dolomites. the foreign office says it is supporting his family. amazon's warehouses will always need human staff — that's according to the firm's chief robotics technologist. the company told the bbc it uses more than 200—thousand robots working in around 50 of its locations. but despite the company investing heavily in advanced robotics, tye brady said the firm's centres would never reach the point where they could be fully automated. electric cars are being used to help power a small portugese island in the atlantic. porto santo has begun testing a scheme in which the batteries in electric vehicles are charged by solar power during the day, but at night return spare energy to the grid. it's hoped the technology could eventually be used around the world. that bit was slightly sped up! let's go back to our main story. so ten candidates remain in the race to be the next conservative leader — but who really stands a chance of reaching downing street? we're joined now by the daily mirror's political correspondent, nicola bartlett, and tom harwood, a journalist for the political blog guido fawkes. frankie very much for both of you coming on to discuss this programme. this mega thank you very much. tom, out of the ten candidates, how many potential winners? we have out of the ten candidates, how many potentialwinners? we have a out of the ten candidates, how many potential winners? we have a top tier macro of three who have emerged above the rest in the last few days, borisjohnson has twice as many declared and his supporters as the next highest, michael gove, followed very closely behind byjeremy hunt who has a lot more momentum over the last few days after he was introduced by defence secretary penny mordaunt, a leading brexiteer, so penny mordaunt, a leading brexiteer, so he is trying to bring the sides of the party together although his supporters overwhelmingly remain. those three candidates stand head and shoulders above the following seven, who do not stand a chance, really, but it will be interesting to see whether supporters fall over the next few weeks in terms of which of the three start nudging ahead. nicola, some of the big beasts launch their campaigns yesterday, did anybody impress or disappoint you? i think michael gove was the one to watch, it was make or break for him. we had several days of revelations about his drug—taking passed and accusations of hypocrisy and so on. he really came out fighting. he was really on the front foot yesterday, in comparison to how he had looked when he was on andrew marr at the weekend, when he looked slightly sheepish and like it was all over for him. he came out fighting, he came out taunting boris johnson who dropped out of the previous leadership contest, of course, when michael gove basically shafted his former friend and he was saying, boris, i know you did it la st saying, boris, i know you did it last time, but don't pull out. it was amazing to see the transformation michael gove's rhetoric and also his attitude. he needs to get more big names behind him now, that he is not out of the running yet. goodbye to tom, michael gove having a ciabatta borisjohnson who has kept a very low profile to the campaign. -- tom, michael gove having a dig at borisjohnson. the campaign. -- tom, michael gove having a dig at boris johnson. mps matter until we get down to the final two, then you talk to the country. so his strategy of sitting ina country. so his strategy of sitting in a corner office in portcullis house, meeting with dozens and dozens and dozens of mps seems to be paying dividends. he has been in the shadows over the last few weeks, he is launching his campaign tomorrow so we is launching his campaign tomorrow so we might start to see more of him in the public eye after wednesday, when he has more media interviews planned. but the strategy of talking to mps, getting to know them, hearing their concerns and discussing how he might work for them has really paid dividends. tom mentioned jeremy hunt as a genuine contender, he seemed to have a good day yesterday, getting support from amber rudd and penny mordaunt? that was particularly significant, because mordaunt is a key brexiteer and rudd is the opposite, so he is trying to show he can appeal across the divide and he did not mention borisjohnson by the divide and he did not mention boris johnson by name, the divide and he did not mention borisjohnson by name, probably a good tactic not always to mention your rival, that he had very thinly veiled references to johnson's perceived incompetence, saying he was a grown—up, sensible politician. i think it was significant he had two former secretary of state for women because he had expressed his view on abortion and cutting the time limit at the weekend from 24 weeks to 12 weeks. that is a really difficult issue, he said it is a personal view and he would not want to change the law, that might upset some people but with some of the more traditional tory members it may not cause an upset. but crucially he had two very key, prominent women introducing him yesterday. tom, i don't know if you saw bbc breakfast yesterday, but sam gyimah told louise quite adamantly he would not pull out, but then he did, to get down to the ten that we now have. you mentioned the top three, do you see anybody causing an upset, any outsiders potentially getting somewhere near the end of this?” think it is overwhelmingly unlikely at this stage, but a week is a long time in politics and it is 2019, so who knows?! in the last few weeks we have seen the seven lesser candidates, dominic raab has fallen behind significantly, he has lost the support of people he hope to pick up like steve baker, andrew bridgen, the hardcore of the european research group who have fallen behind boris, who has been able to bring together the two wings of the conservative party in a way that has not been outflanked on the eurosceptic side by something like dominic raab, but we have also seen the more minor candidates have only just scraped through, getting only the eight signatures required to get on the ballot, onlyjust making it through, so we will probably see quite a bit: the first round of voting on thursday. it is interesting you mention san gina, he is bringing something very different to the debate. his european union second referendum stance is deeply unpopular within the conservative party membership and among mps, but he brought in some interesting domestic policy that would be interesting to discuss. he proposed some of the most silent, if you like, some of the most thatcherite tax policies, some of the almost most right—wing economic agenda, so it is interesting to see how the remain slash leave divide is not necessarily a left right divide. nicola, will be see a johnson slash go head—to—head at the end? —— will we see johnson/gove head—to—head? go head—to—head at the end? —— will we seejohnson/gove head—to—head? a blow out at the anybody doubts that boris will get through, but things come out about people, as we saw with michael gove, or people drop out for various reasons and supports often. unexpected places. so everybody's british boris will be in the final two. i think boris would prefer to be up againstjeremy hunt, if he is up against michael gove it might make things more tricky for him and may be more interesting for those of us watching from the sidelines. to steal from alan hansen, you can't win it at this stage, but you can lose it! bbc one will be hosting a live election debate on tuesday the 18th ofjune between the conservative mps who are still in the race. you can get involved by emailing haveyoursay@bbc.co.uk with your question and include your name and contact number if you're interested in asking it live on the night from your local bbc studio. thank you to nicola and tom for taking part, fascinating to see how it will pan out. ten at the moment, eventually two, quite tame unwell to wait. this really tells the story about the weather? yes, louise. this was taken by a weather watcher in shropshire. we have cloud, outbreaks of rain but certainly not everywhere. this is the recent satellite radio showing where we have had cloud and rain over the past few hours, it has cleared away from the south—east of england and the rain is sitting across parts of lincolnshire, the north midlands, wales, the south—west of england. heavy rain here but either side of the band of cloud and rain, things are not looking too bad. after yesterday's wet weather, this is that the view in eastbourne. blue sky, sunshine and reasonably pleasant conditions across the south—east of england. this weather front will be very slow moving, it will bring further fairly heavy, persistent rain today right through the swathe of england and wales. anywhere from the likes of lincolnshire to lancashire, through wales, down towards the south—west of england, you could see travel disruption, surface water and flooding. either side of the bands of clouds and rain the weather looks drier, because southern and south—east england there is the chance of a few scattered heavy and possibly thundery showers. 19 degrees or so in the sunshine, most places dry in scotla nd in the sunshine, most places dry in scotland and northern ireland with sunny spells, the shower across the northern half of scotland. this evening and overnight we have the slow—moving weather front edging further north, the heaviest of rain tonight will be for the north—east of england, there could be some flooding issues here early tomorrow. through north wales and into the far south—west of england still, but i decided that it is a slightly drier picture to start wednesday. —— but to either side of that it is a slightly drier picture. lots of isobars, a chilly north—easterly wind on wednesday. further heavy showers across southern scotland, northern england and northern ireland. further south across england and wales, sunny spells but scattered heavy afternoon showers with thunder and lightning possible, hail as well and temperatures in the low to mid teens, not great for the time of year. rain on thursday pivots a little, eastern scotland and towards wealth and the south—west of england will see most of the rain. sunny spells further east and scattered heavy showers and thunderstorms again, ten to 17 degrees where you see the showers. friday and into the weekend will not improve in too much of a hurry, no scenes of significant high pressure, low pressure close by but by the end of the weekend into the weekend we will have fewer showers, not as windy as it is for most of the week ona windy as it is for most of the week on a hurry, no scenes of significant high pressure, low pressure close by but by the end of the weekend into the weekend we will have fewer showers, not as windy as it is for most of the week honour temperatures turning warmer through the weekend and into next week. some light at the end of the tunnel, jan and louise. studio: thank you, sarah. the little island of porto santo, near madeira, has big aspirations to become the first energy independent island, using no fossilfuels. it's trying to do it by using batteries which run electric cars by day, to power the island by night. our energy and environment analyst, roger harrabin, reports from the island. the savage beauty of porto santo attracts tourists who love nature. people need energy and the way it is generated here is damaging nature. this pollution is coming from the diesel generator that powers the island's homes. transporting the diesel is expensive and it is fuelling climate change. the local government want clean and renewable energy instead. but wind power and solar power ebb and flow. so they need a way of storing energy for use at night time. here is the chosen solution. the electric car. but not as we know it. in future, electric vehicles here will be fitted with a reversible battery that stores energy for the electricity grid. so how does a reversible battery work? when the sun is shining, the electricity flows out of the grid, down the cable and into the car. it is stored in the battery until night time when it flows back out of the car, up the cable and into the grid to power people's homes. it is a huge innovation. the car is smart so it keeps enough power for itself to be driven. a car you only use part—time for its mobility function and the rest of the time it is available next to an electricity grid to be used for the grid. the firm that is installing the reversible battery system believes the technology will transform our relationship with our cars. so what we're doing here is exciting because normally you think if you want a car it will cost a fortune, will cost a fortune, a lot of money. if you have a car that feeds energy into the grid you can earn money during the time when there is no renewable energy available to give feedback and earn money. it changes the idea of owning a car. on the island, some police are already powered by electricity. to run an effective backup for the local grid, half the cars on the island, like this electric taxi, will need to store power as well as using. so is this the road to the future? well, a couple of years ago if you had suggested that car batteries could play a major part in supporting an electricity grid many people would have laughed. but that is exactly what has happened. the electricity revolution is going to create a lot more surprises. on that day they had the sunshine to get the energy, a really interesting idea. lots of comments about the bbc licence fee, let us know what you think, we will read some out later. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning... sean's taking a look tell the full story. and he is gaining as well? mid—morning? and he is gaining as well? mid-morning? i am not doing as much as these cavemen and women in the gaming cave, i am as these cavemen and women in the gaming cave, iam in as these cavemen and women in the gaming cave, i am in cambridge where the tech industry is booming and they are struggling to recruit the skills they need. i am looking at how you might make the change from a sector like retail or the steel or car industry and go into the tech industry, because the enjoyment —— employment picture is not straightforward across the country. there is the lowest unemployment rate since the 1970s but so many lay—offs in the last few weeks and months from big companies. we will look at what is going on, but first we will get the news, travel and weather wherever you are this morning. hello. we saw a month ‘s worth of rain in the south yesterday. through today, some further rain in the forecast but today it's more towards northern and western parts. you can see we have this weather front struggling in northern england, wales and the south—west of england, that's where the majority of the rain will be coming to the south—east it will be drier than it was yesterday, in fact there could be brighter skies and it's warmer here as well. the risk of some showers developing in the south—east, from south—west england, wales, into the north of england, especially parts of south yorkshire and lincolnshire, a lot of rainfall throughout the course of today and feeling pretty chilly, temperatures 11-12d. a feeling pretty chilly, temperatures 11—12d. a few showers for northern scotland, otherwise for scotland and northern ireland cloudy but dry. tonight you notice the rain doesn't move tonight you notice the rain doesn't m ove very tonight you notice the rain doesn't move very far, stretching from northern england down to the south—west of england, as we go to the early hours of wednesday morning, overnight temperatures reaching 8—10d. the rain continuingto work its way further north but still going to give quite a bit of rain across northern parts of england on wednesday, this weather front straddling those areas, quite breezy quite breezy conditions in the far north of scotla nd conditions in the far north of scotland and northern ireland. more rain lurking towards france, working it's way further north and west. more showers moving to the south—east on wednesday, the rain across the far north of england and into the midlands, the rain developing quite widely into the afternoon. maximum temperatures on wednesday about 12—17d. as for the rest of the week, low pressure firmly in charge of the weather, you can see it's moving its weight northwards gradually, things gradually improving as we go through thursday. some showers, some heavy at times, the rain shifting further north into scotland and northern ireland. that's it from me. goodbye. this is business live from bbc news with ben thompson and sally bundock. the uk's phone networks urge the
