Another great Friends Reunion could be on the Cards Tottenham reach out to their former manager, Mauricio Pochettino, about returning as boss. And he did say once, it would be his dream to come back. Good morning. A slightly cloudy day to day with some rain around, particularly toward the west. But things turning increasingly warm and sunny for the Bank Holiday Weekend. All the details on breakfast. Good morning. Its friday, 28th of may. Up to three quarters of new covid cases could be linked to the indian variant, according to the Health Secretary Matt hancock. There are concerns the increase in infections could delay plans to lift all restrictions in england on June 21st. Our correspondent, james reynolds, has the latest. In bolton, the race between the vaccine and the variant is fought at the pace of an average british queue. In recent weeks, up to several thousand people a day have waited patiently for their turn to be jabbed. In this town the indian variant is Hitting those Who Havent been vaccinated. The Number of cases of the indian variant in england has more than doubled since last week, rising to almost 7000. According to the Health Secretary, up to three quarters of new Uk Covid cases could be linked to the variant. The worst affected areas in england continue to be bolton, Bedford And Blackburn with darwen. Seven other areas in england each have more than 100 confirmed cases of the variant. The critical thing to watch is the link from the Number of cases, to how many people end up in hospital. The increase in cases remains focused on hotspots, and were doing all we can to tackle this variant wherever it flares up. The Prime Minister said we may need to wait for the lifting of all covid restrictions, but he added that there was nothing currently in the data from england to suggest that the easing couldnt go ahead as planned. The next two weeks then may be crucial. A decision is expected in mid june. James reynolds, bbc news. Matt hancock is also under growing pressure over the deaths of thousands of Care Home residents. The Prime Ministers former advisor, Dominic Cummings, Accused Him of lying early on in the pandemic about Care Home residents being tested for coronavirus after leaving hospital. But Mr Hancock says the allegations are unsubstantiated and untrue. 0ur political correspondent Damian Grammaticus has more details. The Health Secretary has been under real pressure now for two days, ever since Dominic Cummings� S Evidence to parliament on wednesday, when he accused the Health Secretary of lying on multiple occasions, particularly about that subject of Care Homes and the claim, he said, that Matt Hancock had made, that people being discharged from hospital were all being tested for covid before returning to Care Homes. Matt hancock has said the claims that he lied were unsubstantiated and untrue. But what we had last night on the question time programme on bbc, was Nadra Ahmed, the chair of the national care association. She said the claim Mr Hancock had made last year that a protective ring had been placed around Care Homes was not true. She said it was absolute rubbish. If there had been a protective ring, she said, well then there would have been a plan in place to protect those vulnerable people. Mr hancock was questioned about this, and what he said to Journalists Yesterday was that a Testing Programme was being built, he said. He admitted the capacity didnt exist at the start of the pandemic to test everyone, because it took time to put in place, and he said he worked hard to do this. But what all of this, i think, Shows is that the fallout from Dominic Cummings� S Evidence, keeping pressure on Matt Hancock. Surgeons are calling for specialist hubs to be set up in england, to help tackle what they call the Colossal Backlog of non urgent operations that have been postponed because of the pandemic. In march, around Five Million patients were waiting for surgery thats the highest Number since records began. But the government says its working to accelerate the recovery of services. 0ur health correspondent, Laura Foster reports. When the pandemic began, Hospital Trusts had to cancel non urgent surgery such as Hip And Knee replacements, so there were enough staff and resources to look after patients with covid. But since then, Waiting Times and lists have only grown. 14 months on from the first lockdown, latest figures Show almost Five Million people are on the waiting list. More than 400,000 of them have been waiting for more than a year. Well, these are the worst waiting time figures ever recorded, and we all understand that stuff had to be put on hold whilst there was the pandemic. But now the pandemic is beginning to recede, we need a serious approach to getting into this backlog. The college says the answer is to spend £1 billion over the next five years, and to carry out operations not at local hospitals, but a dedicated hubs. That way, these hubs would still function even if there was another wave of covid, or indeed another pandemic. The college argues people are willing to travel further if it means surgeries happen sooner. Laura foster, bbc news.

The city has been under strict measures for 270 days, while the rest of the scotland has seen Restrictions Ease in recent weeks.

Measuring the amount of squashed bugs on your car after a journey, may be able to help scientists better understand Insect Populations in the uk. A new app is asking the public to gather the information, to identify where certain species are thriving and where others are in decline. Here 5 our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt. Insect ageddon is how the global decline in Insect Populations has been described by some scientists. One case in germany suggested there had been a 75 decrease in Numbers over 27 years. Take the humble housefly. You may not like them, but like many insects, theyre one of the foundations of the whole food chain. If we lose them, we will lose lots of other species too. But there is actually very little data for many Insect Groups and species, even here in the uk, which is where this new app comes in. The hope is that in the hands of a small army of Citizen Scientists it will generate more accurate figures for Insect Populations. Its simple to use. You clean your Number-plate'>Number Plate before you Go On a journey, then when you arrive at your destination you use the app to photograph the bugs squashed on a section of it, using a Splat Ometer Grid you get when you download the app. The results may become part of the nationwide survey. Justin rowlatt, bbc news. So being someone who drives quite a bit at the moment, i dont know if i could identify the bugs clearly enough on my car. My instinct is to just get to the windscreen and clean them off as quickly as possible. I dont think i would be particularly helpful. Dont think i would be particularly helful. , i.

Now, if you were watching yesterday you may have seen the story of 96 year old margaret angell, who waited more than 70 years for an engagement ring. Her husband Ceil Couldnt afford one when they get engaged in the 1940s, but promised he would buy her one if his favourite club, leicester city, won the Fa Cup and last week they did. Sadly, cecil died some years ago so their son mike stepped in and bought his mum The Ring. Yesterday on breakfast, margaret told us she wished The Ring could touch the trophy. This morning we have an update for you, because Leicester Football Club got in Touch And Margaret has been invited to lift the cup next week of course, wearing The Ring in the colours of blue.

For people renewing their insurance, one of the biggest bugbears is often why do New Customers get a better deal . You think surely loyalty Should pay . Ben, does Loyalty Pay . That is the big question. There is nothing is the big question. There is nothing worse than the idea of Someone Nothing worse than the idea of someone getting a better deal than you even someone getting a better deal than you even know you have been loyal to a company you even know you have been loyal to a company for so long, you have been a company for so long, you have been a customer a company for so long, you have been a customer of a company for so long, you have been a customer of theirs and then it is an offer a customer of theirs and then it is an offer that is only applicable to New Customers. Its really annoying. That is New Customers. Its really annoying. That is what New Customers. Its really annoying. That is what is being looked at Today Today that could be set to change. Good morning, everyone. This is all about making sure what youre paying for your Car Or Home insurance is fair. If you stick to one company and renew with them every year, you could be paying more compared to people that Shop around for a new deal with a different insurer. Thats because some companies creep up the price every year for existing customers. Its called Price Walking, or the Loyalty Penalty. In fact, the financial conduct authority, which regulates the insurance markets, thinks Six Million of us could be paying on average £200 a year more than we need to. We spoke to mike. He spent years running his own business and didnt have time to Shop around. It was only when he retired, he found out he was paying a premium by staying loyal. Well, looking back, running a Small Business like ours, it is all consuming. And you do tend to let things slide at home that you might perhaps be better paying attention to. It was only when we did retire and we had some time to consider the cost of running our house and our car etc, and i think the crunch came when i got the Renewal Notice for the car in february of this year, and it had gone up 20 . And one of our daughters and said, dad, youve really got to get on the internet and find yourself a better quote than that. So i did. Ifind myself a better quote. In fact, the insurance company, when I Challenged them, theyjust said, sorry, that the price. I said, theyjust said, sorry, that the price. Isaid, ive been theyjust said, sorry, that the price. I said, ive been in business a long time. Sometimes youve got to negotiate at least. There was no negotiation with them. So i went to another major name in insurance on the internet. Didnt speak to anybody. And ended up getting the insurance for 485 quid. That anybody. And ended up getting the insurance for 485 quid. Anybody. And ended up getting the insurance for 485 quid. That idea of Sho |n~ insurance for 485 quid. That idea of Shopping around insurance for 485 quid. That idea of Shopping around for insurance for 485 quid. That idea of Shopping around for a insurance for 485 quid. That idea of Shopping around for a better insurance for 485 quid. That idea of Shopping around for a better deal. Shopping around for a better deal paid off Shopping around for a better deal paid off for him. This has been a major complaint from customers for years. Until now, its been down to customers to Shop around and avoid this penalty, either by using those Price Comparison websites, or by giving your insurer a call and having a go at haggling. Thats not always possible though. If youre elderly, on a lower income or dont have easy access to the internet, youre much less likely to be able to get the best deal. Some firms have even been using measures to discourage people from Shopping around and making it more difficult to cancel automatic renewal. Things like keeping you on hold for long periods of time in the hope that you give up. So will anything change . Well, today we are expecting the regulator to reveal some new rules for Insurance Companies that could ban this Loyalty Penalty. We wont know until seven, and the devil will be in the detail. It might well be that you can still get a better deal on the phone rather than online. There are also worries this could mean higher premiums for New Customers. So we will know much more about that at seven so we will know much more about that at seven oclock. Ill be back later with an update. It could finally be the end of that loyalty it could finally be the end of that Loyalty Penalty that has annoyed people Loyalty Penalty that has annoyed people for so long. Loyalty penalty that has annoyed people for so long. Busy morning. Thank you people for so long. Busy morning. Thank you. Thanks, people for so long. Busy morning. Thank you. Thanks, ben.

The Peak District is one of the countrys most popular national parks. But now there is another reason to head here. Just to our right, this high shelf stone, beyond that you cant actually see it, but its bleaklow, which is obviously one of the high points of the whole park. 95 hilltops with an altitude of 400 metres, and a few significant lower ones, have been named the ethels after the founder of a countryside charity, ethel haythornthwaite, who sought solace in the hills after the death of her husband. So from the depths of grief she embraced the countryside, and the countryside that she went into, the moorland that she went into, hugely impacted her physical and mental Well Being. It adds to the challenges, such as the Scottish Munros and the lakeland wainwrights, but the ethels are probably easier to achieve. Were absolutely passionate that the physical and mental Well Being that Ethel Drew from this countryside in the 1920s and 30s, is that we kind of try and promote people to engage with the hills. Its a bit of fun. Its a free app. A lot of the hills are quite accessible. Guidebook Writer Paul and his Guide Dog Scout have already ticked off most of the ethels. My favourite ethel is probably bleaklow head. It looks quite odd. Its in a wilderness area. Its quite isolated. It can get quite busy, but the last time i was there, there was no one around and i had fantastic views across the whole of the Peak District. Bleaklow, Kinder Scout and Black Hill are the highest of the ethels. The app, called ethel ready, has details of all 95 hilltops, enough to keep the keenest Hill Walker busy for months. There is a great tradition in the Walking And Mountaineering community about naming things. The first one was obviously munro. People do the wainwrights now, and its time that the Peak District had their own. And the ethels, its a fantastic name, its got a lot of Tradition And Heritage behind it and its perfect for the Peak District. Judy hobson, bbc news.

Now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. Hello, good morning. Its a milder start to the day than we saw this time yesterday, many of our temperatures in double figures. Theres also quite a bit of cloud around, as well. Theres a Weather Front sitting right out towards the west its not giving us any rain, but it is throwing us Plenty Of Cloud, so a cloudier day than we saw yesterday. There will be some breaks emerging, some spells of sunshine, particularly as we head through the afternoon. The sunny spells probably best out towards eastern areas of the capital do watch out for the small chance of one or two Showers breaking out as we head towards the end of the day. Top temperatures this afternoon in the best of any sunshine could get as high as perhaps 18 to 19 Degrees Celsius even 20 not totally out of the question. Now, as we head through this evening and overnight, again, Plenty Of Cloud around. Its a mild start to the day On Saturday. On saturday, then, again, therell be quite a bit of cloud, but also some sunny spells emerging. Temperatures will start to rise once more. By the time we get to sunday a lot of sunshine.

The indian variant could account for three quarters of all new covid cases in the uk, according to the Health Secretary. Yesterday, the Number of new infections topped 3,000 for the second day in a row. Lets talk now to this Mornings Gp Drwilliam bird. Good morning to you. You have been with us through many, many months of the pandemic and im curious now, as we enter this next stage, people are thinking about easing of restrictions, that date is looming very close. And now the indian variant is rising at quite a significant rate. Can you give us an insight as to what you make of what you are seeing . I insight as to what you make of what you are seeing . You are seeing . I was very optimistic you are seeing . I was very optimistic when you are seeing . I was very optimistic when we you are seeing . I was very| optimistic when we started you are seeing . I was very i optimistic when we started to you are seeing . I was very optimistic when we started to see the levels really fall at the vaccination uptake, and we looked as though everything was on track for the 21st Ofjune being the real opening up but of course the indian variant, and as we know these variants will come along and this will not be the last, there will be more. Each one has to be looked at individually. Initially we knew nothing about the indian variant except what it calls in india but now we know the Vaccination Impact is lower. It is not bad, its gone from about 35 at your first dose up to about 80 to 70 , whether it is the biontech or astrazeneca. It certainly is not as good as we expected with the kent variant. There is a bit of worry, it is slightly more infectious. So i think it is on a knife edge, the 21st. We have not seen any Hospital Admissions go of which is great, and Thatis Admissions go of which is great, and that is the important part but it is not as virulent as kent. It is not that bad in that respect but if it evades the vaccination a bit and also it means that if you have had coronavirus you will not be protected so much and it is slightly more infectious. It is a worry for later in the year. We know we will get a peak in august, we have always known that unlocking but the trouble with this variant, that peak could be a lot higher than they thought. No where near the January Levels or the Spring Levels last year, but certainly high enough to have an impact and that is what is in the balance. I5 impact and that is what is in the balance. ,. ,. Balance. Is a oy understanding. Is at your balance. Is a joy understanding. Is at your understanding. I balance. Is a joy understanding. Is at your understanding. We is at your understanding. We know we will see a spike in infections in august. Can you give people a sense of what that means in practice in terms of Numbers . We looked at the Doubling Week on week over the past week, a doubling of indian Covid Variant Numbers. Looking ahead now, pastjune, is it the understanding that there is a kind of Tolerance Level which we are going to have to live with . Going to have to live with . Yeah, i think the Number going to have to live with . Yeah, i think the Number of going to have to live with . Yeah, i think the Number of infections i going to have to live with . Yeah, i think the Number of infections is i think the Number of infections is not quite the most important part. We know it is the Number of admissions and deaths. Just arent the impact that the vaccination can have, and i wont give you exact Numbers, but certainly i tell those in their 30s who are thinking, do i really need vaccination . I want to be effective very much, it wont affect me, and to be honest, it has all been done, we are fine. We are seeing peoplejust not all been done, we are fine. We are seeing people just not turn up to their Vaccination Slot is that we never had that earlier on. People are fighting for the slot and now we have people Who Have said they are going to come and then dont turn up. If we go from 80 of the under 50s down to 50 of the under 50s being covered, then the Number of Hospital Admissions double and it is not the people in their 30s who will be admitted, it will be the older people Who Have notjust by any means being covered by the vaccination. It is really important that people get not only their first dose, but also to get covered by the second dose of vaccination to be able to make sure we really do squash this indian variant and stop it from becoming a major problem for the winter, which of course is what will be brewing if we allow it to become too much in august. As far as Numbers, from Hospital Admissions it will be in the thousands of people being admitted, but, as i say, even with the worst case scenario, we are nowhere nearJanuary Levels. The immediate nowhere nearJanuary Levels. The immediate issues you face as a gp. We have had two days running, two major stories. What about the pressure on gps seeing people routinely. Today, more about routine operations, the backlog. What routinely. Today, more about routine operations, the backlog. Operations, the backlog. What are ou operations, the backlog.

It is a operations, the backlog. What are you seeing . It is a bit operations, the backlog. What are you seeing . It is a bit worrying. I l you seeing . It is a bit worrying. I felt we would be ok this summer but the last two or three weekends when i have been on, we sought levels we would normally see at christmas. The figures came out in march, 28 Million people seen by their gp in march. To put it in perspective, Accident And Emergency departments exceed 2 Million in a month, so 28 and Two Million and hospitals have admissions of the 500,000 in a Month Orso admissions of the 500,000 in a month or so it doesnt need to be very much of a change in the primary care Numbers to have a huge impact on Accident And Emergency admissions. 28 Million is a record for march this weekend will be like a Bank Holiday in the middle of winter. One of those really difficult ones. What i am also seeing, and i have to say, sadly, twice now, i have seen people come in late in being diagnosed for their cancer which have perhaps been missed. They havent been seen, examined, havent wanted to come up. We are seeing this delayed diagnosis, which is worrying, and the Big Catch Up on operations which we have to do, as well. A lot of the nhs has to do, there will be a big transformation of how primary care works and how we manage to catch up, which is probably overdue because we are going to see doctors Who Have decided they have had enough, gps Who Have taps retired early, may have been quite ill with covid and not able to come back, and people not able to come back, and people not coming in because the workload has been so high. We are seeing the demand pouring in and also fewer doctors than before the pandemic started. Mi; doctors than before the pandemic started. Y. Doctors than before the pandemic started.

Both teams have now arrived in the portuguese city this is how Citys Staff saw off their squad from the etihad complex. Theyre looking to add this trophy to the premier League Title and League Cup Theyve already won this season. That is quite a send up, isnt it . Fans have also been arriving in porto some even caught Shots of the team buses making their way to their hotels yesterday. Both clubs have been given just over 6,000 tickets for the final but chelsea did return some of theirs. In all there will be a crowd of around 16,000. Despite the official process and the tests, it is the best feeling for fans to be away, supporting their teams again. We got a holiday quite cheap, we got apartments quite cheap but the tests have cost more than the holiday. Getting here nightmare. Covid test before. Its not every day you get to see the Champions League final. I happy to do it to see the boys bring it home.

He suffered multiple Leg Injuries in the crash in los angeles. Theres been quite a bit of fallout from Naomi Osakas Declaration that she wouldnt be doing Press Conferences after her matches at next weeks french open, because of the effect they have on her mental health. Her decisions been supporterd by many players, but now the Number'>Mens World Number one says osaka may have to face up to the fact, its part of thejob. I understand the Press Conferences sometimes can be very unpleasant, and its not something that you enjoy always especially if you lose a Match Or Something like this, so. But it is part of the Sport And Part of your life on the tour, and this is something we have to do otherwise we will get fined. Well, the french Tennis Federation has reacted fiercely. Their president said in a statement its a phenomenal error. What is happening here is unacceptable in my opinion. It is very damaging to the sport. She is hurting the game, she is harming tennis.

Once they Hit the currents, that was interesting. It is very much a high tide, a Spring Tide this morning, which increases the distance, takes it up to about 1000 metres, One Kilometre, but it also means the conditions are right, hopefully, to give him a bit of extra push, to give him more of a hand.

Up to three quarters of new covid cases in the uk could be linked to the indian variant, according to the Health Secretary, Matt Hancock. There are concerns the increase in infections could delay plans to lift all restrictions in England Onjune 215t. James reynolds has the latest. In bolton, the race between the vaccine and the variant is fought at the pace of an average british queue. In recent weeks, up to several thousand people a day have waited patiently for their turn to be jabbed. In this town the indian variant is Hitting those Who Havent been vaccinated. The Number of cases of the indian variant in england has more than doubled since last week, rising to almost 7000. According to the Health Secretary, up to three quarters of new Uk Covid cases could be linked to the variant. The worst affected areas in england continue to be bolton, Bedford And Blackburn with darwen. Seven other areas in england each have more than 100 confirmed cases of the variant. The critical thing to watch is the link from the Number of cases, to how many people end up in hospital. The increase in cases remains focused in hotspots, and were doing all we can to tackle this variant wherever it flares up. The Prime Minister said we may need to wait for the lifting of all covid restrictions, but he added that there was nothing currently in the data from england to suggest that the easing couldnt go ahead as planned. The next two weeks then may be crucial. A decision is expected in mid june. James reynolds, bbc news. Matt hancock is also under growing pressure over the deaths of thousands of Care Home residents.

Surgeons are calling for specialist hubs to be set up in england, to help tackle what they call the Colossal Backlog of non urgent operations that have been postponed because of the pandemic. In march, around Five Million patients were waiting for surgery thats the highest Number since records began. The government says its working to accelerate the recovery of services. Our health correspondent, Laura Foster reports. When the pandemic began, Hospital Trusts had to cancel non urgent surgery such as Hip And Knee replacements, so there were enough staff and resources to look after patients with covid. But since then, Waiting Times and lists have only grown. 14 months on from the first lockdown, latest figures Show almost Five Million people are on the waiting list. More than 400,000 of them have been waiting for more than a year. Well, these are the worst waiting time figures ever recorded, and we all understand that stuff had to be put on hold whilst there was the pandemic. But now the pandemic is beginning to recede, we need a serious approach to getting into this backlog. The college says the answer is to spend £1 billion over the next five years, and to carry out operations not at local hospitals, but a dedicated hubs. That way, these hubs would still function even if there was another wave of covid, or indeed another pandemic. The college argues people are willing to travel further if it means surgeries happen sooner. Laura foster, bbc news.

Its a milder start to the day than we saw this time yesterday, many of our temperatures in double figures. Theres also quite a bit of cloud around, as well. Theres a Weather Front sitting right out towards the west its not giving us any rain, but it is throwing us Plenty Of Cloud, so a cloudier day than we saw yesterday. There will be some breaks emerging, some spells of sunshine, particularly as we head through the afternoon. The sunny spells probably best out towards eastern areas of the capital do watch out for the small chance of one or two Showers breaking out as we head towards the end of the day. Top temperatures this afternoon in the best of any sunshine could get as high as perhaps 18 to 19 Degrees Celsius even 20 not totally out of the question. Now, as we head through this evening and overnight, again, Plenty Of Cloud around. Its a mild start to the day On Saturday.

There are concerns the increase in infections could delay plans to lift all restrictions in england on June 21st. Cases of the variant in england have doubled to almost 7,000 in the last week. Lets speak to the Business Secretary. I wonder if you could pick up on a note, we were talking to kelly oneill, the director of public health in hounslow, as you know is one of the problem areas in terms of the indian variant particularly. She was saying that at Twickenham Stadium there would be hopefully 15,000 people vaccinated injust stadium there would be hopefully 15,000 people vaccinated in just the one location as part of their drive.

Tottenham have contacted Mauricio Pochettino over their Managers Job just 18 months after they sacked him. Pochettino took spurs to the Champions League final two years ago and fans loved him, and he loved The Club saying last year it was his dream to return one day. The problem, though, is he is currently manager of Paris Saint germain he only took over injanuary, and, despite missing out on the french League Title this season, talked about a great future there just the other day. But will his head he turned . Tiger woods says just walking on his own is his Number one goal as he continues his recovery from a horrific Car Crash in february. Speaking to a magazine, woods, who won the masters two years ago, wouldnt be drawn on whether hed ever play golf again. He says hes taking it one step at a time. He suffered multiple Leg Injuries in the crash in los angeles. There was an absolute thrashing in rugby league last night, as warrington were ruthless at salford. They ran in 10 tries, with toby king playing with the exhuberance that a new contract can give you. He scored two of those in the 62 18 win. Admittedly salford lost their discpline with two players sent to the Sin Bin in the second half. We were stone cold, they were wHite hot, said the salford head coach. Hes arguably one of the most famous voices in british sport, but Cricket Commentator David bumble lloyd is also a former england player, England Coach and an umpire.

Here on Breakfast Weve been following the story of Park Lane stables who needed to raise A Million pounds, orface closure. After a huge fundraising effort, the horse riding charity reached their goal. But, just a few months later it seems theyll need to find a new home after all. Fiona lamdin has the story. I heard the News Today that youre having to close. Thats awful. Packing up after 12 years, something they hoped theyd never have to do. But in a few days time, natalie and her team will say goodbye to Park Lane stables. Devastated, to be honest. Were absolutely heartbroken. We dont know what else to do, because weve done everything we possibly can. And Weve Sort of Hit a dead end. Earlier this year, the landlord wanted to sell the stables, so the charity set about raising his estimated Sale Price of £1 million so they could stay. We first met natalie and her team 14 weeks ago, when they had just days to raise the money. 350 disabled people are relying on us, so i absolutely have to do it for them. What a difference 24 hours makes. Well over £1 million was given, and so everyone assumed the stables would finally be theirs. But in a twist that no one saw coming, in the end, the final price could not be agreed. The landlord has told us. We dont know what the final chapter is, but we are carrying on. This is absolutely not the end. We started this for the people that need us, and we will absolutely carry on for them. My only priority is doing what we do for the people that need us. They have found a temporary home a few miles away, so the horses and the children can continue to ride. But this was not the ending anyone was expecting or hoping for. Fiona lamdin, bbc news. Knowing those women, and we have interviewed them over the last few months and the owner has spent a lot of time with them, as well, they are very determined and they will make sure they continue with that. We will see sure they continue with that. , will see what happens. Sure they continue with that. We will see what happens. Good sure they continue with that. We i will see what happens. Good luck.

As we head through the weekend we are expecting some really high levels of uv at times so be prepared for that, levels of uv at times so be prepared forthat, particularly levels of uv at times so be prepared for that, particularly sunday and monday. Today is a Cloud Day than yesterday so not quite as one. Yesterday we saw temperatures up to 21 degrees, a Bit Cooler today. Patchy rain around for some, particularly to the west. That is because we have a Weather Front moving in from the west bumping into High Pressure but certainly some patchy rain around Irish Sea coasts, is about the west of england, wales, Northern Ireland and South West Scotland. It is, most places look dry with sunny spells developing, but one or two Showers around particular in the far east. Northumberland, down to norfolk. Temperatures getting up to around 18 or19 temperatures getting up to around 18 or 19 degrees in the warmest bus, a Bit Cooler to aberdeen where we have more cloud just drifting around the East Coast of scotland, only about 13 degrees. One or two of those sharp Showers in the east could linger for sharp Showers in the east could lingerfor a time into the sharp Showers in the east could linger for a time into the evening but they will fade away quite quickly overnight and the rain in the west tend to peter out, as well. Just the odd spot of result left around the western coasts as we head through the course of tonight. Under the cloud, temperatures around ten or ii the cloud, temperatures around ten or 11 degrees in the west. Under clear skies in the east, six or seven first thing saturday morning. Saturday dawns on a bit of a cloudy knows, maybe for some, saturday dawns on a bit of a cloudy knows, maybe forsome, it saturday dawns on a bit of a cloudy knows, maybe for some, it will brighten up fairly quickly through the day so a drier day for western areas compared to today and a bit more sunshine in the east. Just one or two sharp Showers are spiked up during the afternoon for the midlands, the pennines, parts of scotland. Temperatures between about 18 to 21 degrees On Saturday so it Should feel pleasant with Light Winds around in those sunny spells. High pressure very much holding on into sunday. In fact a sunday probably quite widespread blue skies and sunshine as most places staying dry through the day, thats just an isolated afternoon Shower. Temperatures up to about 23 degrees in the warmest bus, even across parts of scotland we are looking at 21 or 22 degrees but be prepared for those very high levels of uv for some of us as well. High pressure holes on into Bank Holiday monday so the fine, settled weather continues, increasingly warm, increasingly sunny. Many people are and how to like, for a few more days, those dry, settled conditions Should hold on. We are heading towards the a met on.

Scientists have created an artificial Intelligence Screening Tool which can detect signs of coronavirus, by the sound of someones cough. Researchers, led by the university of essex say the programme was 98 accurate in spotting those who had the infection. Our science correspondent, Richard Westcott has more. Coughing one key to controlling covid is a quick test to see whos got it. This is the sound of our non positive covid individual. Cough. And thats where this coughing comes in. This is the sound of someone who has got covid. Drier cough. Scientists in essex have analysed more than 8,000 coughs from hospitals around the world and designed a Computer Programme that can tell whos got the virus. Its very difficult, almost impossible for human hearing to be able to distinguish when someone is a negative or positive. What these computers and Machine Learning can do is to scan the whole Frequency Spectrum of the Audio And Pick of many differences that combine to allow us to differentiate between someone that has covid and someone who has not covid. You can imagine this is the way it might work. So you would have a Qr Code Outside in perhaps an Office Building Ora pub. You scan it and the website comes up and then you open the website. And cough into it, and it tells you potentially, if youve got covid if it comes up as a positive, then you would go off and have, say, a Pcr Test to make sure. Doctors in mexico are already using the app in remote places where they cant get swab tests. They found that in controlled conditions it could be 90 accurate. This is a boy who did not have covid. Cough. Today its covid but you could potentially use apps to spot all kinds of problems. I think this is a first step. That Shows that in the future we could use our mobile phones to do many more things to just communicate and just call our families and friends, we could use it for detecting different conditions and health states.

In march, around Five Million patients were waiting for surgery thats the highest Number since records began. The government says its working to accelerate the recovery of services. Our health correspondent, Laura Foster, reports. When the pandemic began, Hospital Trusts had to cancel nonurgent surgery such as Hip And Knee replacements, so there were enough staff and resources to look after patients with covid. But since then, Waiting Times and lists have only grown. 14 months on from the first lockdown, latest figures Show almost Five Million people are on the waiting list. More than 400,000 of them have been waiting for more than a year. Well, these are the worst waiting time figures ever recorded, and we all understand that stuff had to be put on hold whilst there was the pandemic. But now the pandemic is beginning to recede, we need a serious approach to getting into this backlog. The college says the answer is to spend £1 billion over the next five years, and to carry out operations not at local hospitals, but at dedicated hubs. That way, these hubs would still function even if there was another wave of covid, or indeed another pandemic. The college argues people are willing to travel further if it means surgeries happen sooner. Lauren foster, bbc news. Residents of glasgow are expected to find out later whether the city will remain in level three of scotlands covid 19 restrictions. The city has been under strict measures for 270 days, while the rest of scotland has seen Restrictions Ease in recent weeks. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said there are reasons to be optimistic about the situation. The former us President Barack Obama has praised the anti Poverty Campaigning of england and Manchester United footballer, Marcus Rashford. Mr obama joined the 23 year old in an online Zoom Meeting, where the pair discussed shared experiences, including being raised by single mothers, their involvement in community projects, and a love of books. Marcus, i think, is way ahead of where i was at 23. I was still trying to figure it out. For me being in sports, ijust knew my life could change very, very quickly. And if i wasnt like, mature enough, or at a certain level in my own head, it makes stuff like fame even more difficult. When you look at the history of big social movements and i big social change, it is usuallyl young people who initiated this.

A new app is asking the public to gather the information, to identify where certain species are thriving and where others are in decline. Here s our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt. Insect ageddon is how the global decline in Insect Populations has been described by some scientists. One case in germany suggested there had been a 75 decrease in Numbers over 27 years. Take the humble housefly. You may not like them, but like many insects, theyre one of the foundations of the whole food chain. If we lose them, we will lose lots of other species too. But there is actually very little data for many Insect Groups and species, even here in the uk, which is where this new app comes in. The hope is that in the hands of a small army of Citizen Scientists it will generate more accurate figures for Insect Populations. Its simple to use. You clean your Number-plate'>Number Plate before you Go On a journey, then when you arrive at your destination you use the app to photograph the bugs squashed on a section of it, using a Splat Ometer Grid you get when you download the app. The results may become part of the nationwide survey. Justin rowlatt, bbc news. I have a question. I have been thinking about this all morning. It has fascinated me. I saw the grid you use for your Number-plate'>Number Plate.

Thank you. Quarter past eight. Weve been hearing this morning that up to three quarters of new coronavirus cases in the uk could now be linked to the indian variant, according to the Health Secretary Matt hancock. So how concerned Should we be, and what impact could it have on the further relaxation of restrictions . Lets speak now to epidemiologist, dr mike tildesley, who joins us from coventry. A regularface on a regular face on this a regularface on this programme. Good morning. How are you doing . Hat good morning. How are you doing . Not too bad, thank you. How are you . Very too bad, thank you. How are you . Very well. Too bad, thank you. How are you . Very well, thank you. Interesting to hear about what is happening with the indian variant. What have you observed and what consequences do you think we Should be drawing, obviously as we move towards that June 21 date . Obviously as we move towards that June 21 date . Obviously as we move towards that June 21 date . 0k. The first thing to observe is. June 21 date . 0k. The first thing to observe is. Its June 21 date . 0k. The first thing to observe is, its not June 21 date . 0k. The first thing to observe is, its not unexpected i observe is, its not unexpected firstly observe is, its not unexpected firstly that these variants do emerge firstly that these variants do emerge. It is also not unexpected if we do emerge. It is also not unexpected if we do see emerge. It is also not unexpected if we do see one that is a little bit easily we do see one that is a little bit easily passed from person to person, that we easily passed from person to person, that we might start to see it becoming more dominant. That is probably becoming more dominant. That is probably not surprising. The key thing probably not surprising. The key thing we probably not surprising. The key thing we need to try to understand is how thing we need to try to understand is how much more easily does a transfer is how much more easily does a transfer from person to person. There transfer from person to person. There is transfer from person to person. There is still some uncertainty over there is still some uncertainty over how there is still some uncertainty over how transmissible it is. It seems over how transmissible it is. It seems like over how transmissible it is. It seems like the vaccine has worked pretty seems like the vaccine has worked pretty well, particularly after a second pretty well, particularly after a second dose. We really need to encourage as many people as possible to o encourage as many people as possible to go back encourage as many people as possible to go back for their second dose, and also to go back for their second dose, and also for to go back for their second dose, and also for younger people to go for their and also for younger people to go for their first dose when offered. 0bviously for their first dose when offered. Obviously the worry is that because it is more obviously the worry is that because it is more transmissible, then there is the it is more transmissible, then there is the potential for a further wave of infections and potentially, hospital of infections and potentially, Hospital Admissions to start to rise again Hospital Admissions to start to rise again we Hospital Admissions to start to rise again. We really need to gather as much again. We really need to gather as much evidence as we can over the next much evidence as we can over the next week much evidence as we can over the next week or two to understand what is going next week or two to understand what is going on next week or two to understand what is going on with his new variant, how is going on with his new variant, how much is going on with his new variant, how much more it is spreading, and then try how much more it is spreading, and then try to how much more it is spreading, and then try to predict what might happen then try to predict what might happen Should have thisJune 21 relaxation go ahead.

What we really look at when we are thing. What we really look at when we are analysing the data and using our models we are analysing the data and using our models to predict what might happen. Our models to predict what might happen. Is our models to predict what might happen, is the impact on all of those happen, is the impact on all of those restrictions being lifted together. We are looking at kind of a sort together. We are looking at kind of a sort of together. We are looking at kind of a sort of strength of restrictions lifting. A sort of strength of restrictions lifting. If a sort of strength of restrictions lifting, if you like. We take all the data. Lifting, if you like. We take all the data, we fit to the data we see and we the data, we fit to the data we see and we project forward. We say, if you lived and we project forward. We say, if you lived the restrictions this is what you lived the restrictions this is what you you lived the restrictions this is what you might see. We are looking at trends~ what you might see. We are looking at trends. The important thing to bear at trends. The important thing to bear in at trends. The important thing to bear in mind as we would expect with these bear in mind as we would expect with these restrictions being lifted at some these restrictions being lifted at some point of the Number'>R Number would go above some point of the Number'>R Number would go above one some point of the Number'>R Number would go above one. It looks like that is probably above one. It looks like that is probably what is happening now given that we probably what is happening now given that we are probably what is happening now given that we are starting to see cases going that we are starting to see cases going up that we are starting to see cases going up. But the important thing for us going up. But the important thing for us is going up. But the important thing for us is given we now have the vaccines. For us is given we now have the vaccines, we are in a very different place vaccines, we are in a very different place from vaccines, we are in a very different place from say in october, when we were place from say in october, when we were starting to see cases rising in a concerning way, because hopefully the vaccines can help us along the way the vaccines can help us along the way if the vaccines can help us along the way if we the vaccines can help us along the way. If we kick the can down the road way. If we kick the can down the road a way. If we kick the can down the road a little bit, we can allow the Vaccines Road a little bit, we can allow the vaccines to road a little bit, we can allow the vaccines to help us and hopefully allow vaccines to help us and hopefully allow us vaccines to help us and hopefully allow us all to lift restrictions. Can i allow us all to lift restrictions. Can i ask allow us all to lift restrictions. Can i ask what is probably a stupid question . At what point do we know that the Number'>R Number will never rise above one, when we are all vaccinated . Vaccinated . Well, i mean, essentially vaccinated . Well, i mean, essentially what vaccinated . Well, i mean, essentially what we vaccinated . Well, i mean, essentially what we start i vaccinated . Well, i mean, l essentially what we start to vaccinated . Well, i mean, essentially what we start to see. Really. Essentially what we start to see. Really, viruses are pretty straight forward really, viruses are pretty straight forward in really, viruses are pretty straight forward in terms of how they spread. If forward in terms of how they spread. If the forward in terms of how they spread. If the r forward in terms of how they spread. If the Number'>R Number is greater than one, you will if the Number'>R Number is greater than one, you will see if the Number'>R Number is greater than one, you will see cases rising. If it is less you will see cases rising. If it is less than you will see cases rising. If it is less than one, you will see cases go down less than one, you will see cases go down again less than one, you will see cases go down again. If you test them like flu, down again. If you test them like flu. What down again. If you test them like flu, what we tend to have with louise flu, what we tend to have with louise you flu, what we tend to have with louise you get these waves of infection louise you get these waves of infection. The Number'>R Number goes above one and infection. The Number'>R Number goes above one and you infection. The Number'>R Number goes above one and you tend to get waves of infection one and you tend to get waves of infection in one and you tend to get waves of infection in the autumn time and then infection in the autumn time and then generally that sort of dies out towards then generally that sort of dies out towards the summer. What we may get with covid towards the summer. What we may get with covid is towards the summer. What we may get with covid is these kinds of seasonal with covid is these kinds of seasonal variations in the years to come seasonal variations in the years to come. Hopefully when the vaccine campaigns were, the Number'>R Number eventually goes below one and it starts eventually goes below one and it starts to eventually goes below one and it starts to die out. You may get further starts to die out. You may get further waves of infection coming in. Possibly, we are not really ready in. Possibly, we are not really ready to in. Possibly, we are not really ready to fully have this discussion yet, ready to fully have this discussion yet. But ready to fully have this discussion yet, but possibly seasonal vaccination campaigns is what we may need in vaccination campaigns is what we may need in years to come to protect the vulnerable need in years to come to protect the vulnerable. ~. , need in years to come to protect the vulnerable vulnerable. When i was asking you about which vulnerable. When i was asking you about which restrictions vulnerable. When i was asking you about which restrictions might i vulnerable. When i was asking you about which restrictions might be, | about which restrictions might he, could be about which restrictions might he, could he stepped back from if there were concerns, and i understand you wont go into specific restrictions, there are things like all legal limits on contact reviewed, nightclubs reopening, restrictions on larger events restricted, one of the things you will be very aware of is the Hospitality Industry and how it has struggled. It is very keen to move forward and drop those restrictions. There is often that argument, isnt there, why on earth can we go to the supermarket, Shop around, he can we go to the supermarket, Shop around, be around people we dont know, not in our household, not always socially distancing, and you can go to a pub . Can go to a pub . Yeah, and this is difficult. Can go to a pub . Yeah, and this is difficult it can go to a pub . Yeah, and this is difficult. It doesnt can go to a pub . Yeah, and this is difficult.

I remember having this debate 12 months remember having this debate 12 months ago about schools versus pubs~ months ago about schools versus pubs. Someone i was talking to was getting pubs. Someone i was talking to was getting very upset that schools were open and getting very upset that schools were open and pubs warrant. And i was saying open and pubs warrant. And i was saying that open and pubs warrant. And i was saying that schools are safer than pubs~ saying that schools are safer than pubs~ it saying that schools are safer than pubs~ it is saying that schools are safer than pubs~ it is a saying that schools are safer than pubs. It is a necessity for children to go pubs. It is a necessity for children to go to pubs. It is a necessity for children to go to school. Really above anything to go to school. Really above anything else. That is the key thing~ anything else. That is the key thing. And obviously it is a necessity that we go to the supermarket and we buy our food. When supermarket and we buy our food. When it supermarket and we buy our food. When it comes to hospitality, of course when it comes to hospitality, of course its when it comes to hospitality, of course its really, really important that we course its really, really important that we try course its really, really important that we try to get those open as soon that we try to get those open as soon as that we try to get those open as soon as possible, but we also need to do soon as possible, but we also need to do it soon as possible, but we also need to do it safely, which is why some of these to do it safely, which is why some of these necessary things have been prioritised. Of these necessary things have been prioritised, even if you might argue they might prioritised, even if you might argue they might be slightly more risky because they might be slightly more risky because it is really, really important to keep them open. Gk. Because it is really, really important to keep them open. Ok. So basicall , important to keep them open. Ok. So basically. We important to keep them open. Ok. So basically.

There will be some breaks emerging, some spells of sunshine, particularly as we head through the afternoon. The sunny spells probably best out towards eastern areas of the capital do watch out for the small chance of one or two Showers breaking out as we head towards the end of the day.

You are loyal to them for years, they dont know how you think they treat you well and they treat you not well as New Customers sometimes. How do we see New Customers only . The regulator this morning has set no more. It is all about making sure we pay the right price insurance, whether it is Car Or Home insurance. The regulator says New Customers get the best deals. Those who stay loyal get charged more. So from january next year, it will be banned. All customers will pay the same. Its thought about Six Million of us were paying £200 a year more on average than we needed to. We spoke to mike, who found he was paying much more because hed stayed loyal to the company that insured his car. One of our daughters and said, dad, youve really got to get on the internet and find yourself a better quote than that. So i did. Ifind myself a better quote. In fact, the insurance company, when I Challenged them, theyjust said, sorry, that the price. I thought, ive been in business a long time. Sometimes youve got to negotiate at least. There was no negotiation with them. So i went to another major name in insurance on the internet. Didnt speak to anybody. And ended up getting the insurance for a85 quid. Shop around and save a bit of money. So what does Todays Announcement mean for you . Alex neill is from the consumer rights group, resolver. Nice to see you. Lows of questions have come out of this announcement this morning selects for them. The first question is, when will these changes come into force . It is probably only likely to affect us when we come to renew . Thats right. Most peeple when we come to renew . Thats right. Most peeple will when we come to renew . Thats right. Most people will be when we come to renew . Thats right. Most people will be feeling when we come to renew . Thats right. Most people will be feeling the most people will be feeling the impact of this Price Walking as it has been called by the regulator, when it suddenly creeps up. In year two, when they stay with their existing provider. If you are renewing your insurance on the 1st Of January next year, you Should see that you dont pay a different price to if you were to get a brand new quotation. In the longer term, the regulator is saying that this impact, this policy, you will see the benefit over five to ten years and they are talking about somewhere around £4 billion. Around £4 billion. Some people may think this ruling around £4 billion. Some people may think this ruling may around £4 billion. Some people may think this ruling may think around £4 billion. Some people may think this ruling may think they think this ruling may think they dont have to Shop around, that their current provider will always give them the best price. That their current provider will always give them the best price. Give them the best price. That is not necessarily give them the best price. That is not necessarily the give them the best price. That is not necessarily the case, give them the best price. That is not necessarily the case, is give them the best price. That is not necessarily the case, is it . L give them the best price. That is i not necessarily the case, is it . No, and it is one viewers Should watch out for because what they are really saying is that you will get a fair price from your provider, which means you will get the best price they can give you whether you are new or existing, but that does not mean it is the best price on the market and it Should not be confused. See what is happening in the energy market, with a price cap. Providers are free to charge whatever they like. Providers are free to charge whateverthey like. If providers are free to charge whatever they like. If they decide they dont want your business or they dont want your business or they will rate you hire for some reason, thatsjust they will rate you hire for some reason, thats just may not be the most competitive price, so Shopping around is still definitely worth doing.

The model has always been that in the past they doing. The model has always been that in the past they offer doing. The model has always been that in the past they offer cheaper| that in the past they offer cheaper deals to New Customers, try to existing ones a bit more and it all sort of balances out in their financial terms. Sort of balances out in their financialterms. Does sort of balances out in their financial terms. Does this Ruling Today mean that New Customers will end up paying more . Hot today mean that New Customers will end up paying more . Not necessarily. I think there end up paying more . Not necessarily. I think there will end up paying more . Not necessarily. I think there will be end up paying more . Not necessarily. I think there will be some i think there will be some adjustments made and what the regulator seems to say, which i think is pretty Shocking, is what was happening was it wasnt that everybody got The Very Best deal when they got a new quotation. It was that it was targeted at those people that they thought then it would not switch in those years two, three, four. And in those cases those are more vulnerable customers, older or less well off. We will see some adjustments around the margins but fundamentally getting a new customer has a ways been competitive so that Should keep some good prices therefore all consumers. find so that Should keep some good prices therefore all consumers. Therefore all consumers. And that retention of therefore all consumers. And that retention of customer therefore all consumers. And that retention of Customer Issue therefore all consumers. And that retention of Customer Issue is therefore all consumers. And that retention of Customer Issue is a L Retention of Customer Issue is a good one. In the past they got those New Customers by offering cheaper prices. If they cant do that does that mean they will improve their service or the product, rather than just always going for the cheapest, will Shop around based on how good a firm is .

Really good to talk to you this morning, Alex Neill from resolver. The regulator also saying they will keep a really close eye on this but as alex touched on it is hard to police because we know how difficult it can be to switch to make sure you have the right cover, you are paying the right excess. You have all your valuables and things covered so lots of big questions but nonetheless going some way to save people a bit of money when it comes to Home Or Car insurance. It is to Home Or Car insurance. It is important. To Home Or Car insurance. It is important, especially to Home Or Car insurance. It is important, especially in to Home Or Car insurance.

Im not quite sure but i think the writers had me in mind| think the writers had me in mind from quite early on and they have said there is a vague physical resemblance between me and Kempton Bunton, which helps in the first place to put me in the frame. And Thenit Place to put me in the frame. And then it wasjust place to put me in the frame. And then it was just the usual process of agents and deals and people coming through. With Roger And Michelle directing, it was an easy decision to make with roger michell directing. Apart from having to take on a geordie accent, which i havent done, that was the challenge. That was exciting. Charlie here. An extraordinary story, this. I dont know if you have heard the story before you took on the role but in essence, so people understand, Kempton Bunton stole a painting from the National Gallery but it was not for personal gain. He then tried to extort money, effectively, for what he thought was Robin Hood reasons. Robin hood reasons. Yeah. The aintina Robin Hood reasons. Yeah. The painting has Robin Hood reasons. Yeah. The painting has just Robin Hood reasons. Yeah. The Painting Hasjust been Robin Hood reasons. Yeah. The Painting Hasjust been bought i Robin Hood reasons. Yeah. The| Painting Hasjust been bought by Robin Hood reasons. Yeah. The Painting Hasjust been bought by the painting has just been bought by the nation for £140,000, which is a vast amount of money at that time for the portrait of wellington and kempton found that unacceptable that that amount of money was being spent on a painting and could have been spent elsewhere so he took it and held it to ransom and wrote letters to the newspapers and as you saw in the trailer, they thought it must have been a gang of sophisticated italian art thieves or trained sas thieves, but no, it was kempton who did it. There is a message to the film, i suppose, which comes out in the trial, which is that he believes we are all in it together, and the Well Being of one depends on the Well Being of one depends on the Well Being of one depends on the Well Being of all. It is a very strong and loving message which is very appropriate for these times. I very appropriate for these times. I am mindful of not giving away too much of a story but the story is out there because it is true. It presented a challenge for the legal system because of his motivations, as it it perfect personal gain or not . , as it it perfect personal gain or not . ,. ,. , not .
