Hello, this is Breakfast, with Sally Nugent and Jon Kay.

Also this morning, Jeremy Corbyn insists he's not a pacifist

and he'll be strong on defence as Theresa May targets traditional

Tough times ahead. The Bank of England governor warns that living

costs will write than wages this year, so we are looking at what it

could mean for us and for the election. -- rise faster than wages.

His Manchester United side are through to the Europa League final.

They beat Celta Vigo 2-1 on aggregate to secure their place

in the Stockholm showpiece, later this month.

We are live at Manchester's beautiful, glorious, historic

Victoria baths. The pool has been refilled, ready for the first public

swim in 24 years. We will have more on the plight of Britain's glorious

historic pools and the fight to save them in a little while. And Matt has

the weather. Good morning. Another dry day., but for the rest of you

there will be the smell of fresh rain in the air and maybe eight

thunderstorms later. -- dry day for Scotland.

Thousands of weapons have been seized in schools

They include swords, axes and air guns.

Some of the cases involved children as young as five .

Police chiefs said there had been a "worrying" increase in young

Some schools have taken to using metal arches to make sure no weapons

are brought on to their premises. But figures obtained by the press

Association show that the number of seizures in the last year is up

about 20% on the previous year. 32 out of 43 police forces in England

and Wales responded to freedom of information request about weapons

found in schools. The figures showed that 2579 weapons were found in the

two years to March this year. Among them were samurai swords, Axa 's and

air guns. -- axes. Many of the children were below the age of ten,

and won five-year-old was caught with a knife. Just ones dab wound

that went straight in his heart. -- stab wound. The national police

Council said the increase in young people carrying weapons was

worrying. It said it wanted to educate people that carrying a

weapon illegally is never acceptable.

After 6:30 we'll be discussing this with anti-violence campaigner

Barry Mizen, whose teenage son Jimmy was killed in 2008.

The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, will this morning give a speech

on foreign affairs and insist he isn't a pacifist and he's

prepared to use military force as a last resort.

The Prime Minister will make her own pitch to traditional Labour voters

She'll accuse Mr Corbyn of deserting "patriotic working class people."

Our political correspondent, Eleanor Garnier, is in

Eleanor, both leaders are addressing perceived weaknesses

I think Jeremy Corbyn is trying to cast off that image as a pacifist

and somebody who is unwilling to take military action. Remember, he

is a former chairman of the Stop the War Coalition, a long-standing

critic of military intervention in Afghanistan, Iraqi and Syria. But

today he is putting forward his case as a potential world leader, saying

he is not a pacifist and he is capable of ordering military action

as a very last resort and only under international law. He is also going

to take a dig at Theresa May, saying that she is pandering to Donald

Trump, and that under him foreign policy would not involve holding the

hand of the US president. I think Theresa May will also get personal

today. In her speech in the north-east of England today, she is

trying to win over voters who might have voted Labour for generations,

saying that they might feel that down by the party, and accusing

Jeremy Corbyn of turning his back on people who are patriotic and proud

working-class people, putting herself forward as the only

candidate able to take the country through the Brexit negotiations. So

they are getting personal, while the Lib Dems are getting parental today?

Yes, the Lib Dems are saying today that under them, they would offer

fathers and extra month of a paternal leave. They are calling it

daddy month. A former LibDem minister told us this is all part of

showing that parenting can be much more equal and also showing how

important the role of fathers is in bringing up children. The evidence

shows that when men are more involved in fatherhood there are

huge benefits. It is better for child development. Children do

better at school. And the health and well-being of the whole family is

improved. So what we want to do with this extra leave is to make it

easier to new fathers to spend time with their children from those alias

weeks and months. The Lib Dems say this is not just about helping

families, it could also benefit the UK economy. They say if the

workforce is more flexible and more motivated, that will help UK

businesses as well. And if you are wondering, at this time in four

weeks, we will all be waking up to the general election result. Alan,

thank you. -- Eleanor. President Trump says he wants

a quick investigation into allegations of Russian

interference in the US elections. In a television interview last night

he called FBI director James Comey a showboat and grandstand.

In his first extensive television interview since he sacked the FBI's

director James Comey, he told the American network NBC

News that he wasn't under investigation himself.

Our Washington correspondent Laura Bicker reports.

He has become more famous than me! Famous, or infamous? When did Donald

Trump decide to sack the towering figure from the FBI? This

presidential handshake not an act of friendship, it seems, but the

beginning of the end for James Comey. He is a showboater, he is a

grandstander. It wasn't until a device from the Deputy

Attorney-General, as the White House stated, it came directly from the

President. I was going to fire him. It was my decision. You had already

made the decision? I was going to fire him. And another apparent

contradiction. The White House claims that James Comey had little

or no support within the FBI. The rank and file of the EI have lost

confidence in their director. Not so, said the acting FBI director,

who was sitting in for his sacked boss before the senate intelligence

committee. Director Comey enjoyed broad support within the FBI. And

still does. At the heart of this row, is the alleged collusion

between the Trump campaign and Moscow. The president admits that

Russia was on his mind when he decided to fire James Comey. There

was no good time to do it. And in fact, when I decided to just do it,

I said to myself, you know, this Russia thing, with Trump and Russia,

it is a made up story, it is an excuse by the Democrats for having

lost an election. Donald Trump denies any collusion with Russia and

insists that despite sacking the head of the EI, he wants any enquiry

done properly and quickly. -- the FBI.

Detectives investigating the death of a businessman who was shot dead

during a suspected burglary at his home in Dorset have

Police say a 45-year-old man from Poole is being questioned

on suspicion of conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary.

Three men have been charged with murdering Guy Hedger

during the May Day Bank Holiday weekend.

A London-based virtual reality firm has secured one of the largest

investments in a British technology company in recent years.

Japan's Softbank is investing nearly ?400 million in Improbable,

a company that was only set up five years ago.

The deal is seen as evidence the UK's technology sector can

compete with the best around the world.

I think it is a big vote of confidence in the talent pool we

have here, and the potential for this country to produce world

leading technology firms. If we were able to enter that category that

would be great for us. If you didn't know already, John is very much

aware of this, it is the finals of Eurovision tomorrow night.

Last night, Ireland crashed out of the semi-finals but the UK

will be represented by the former X Factor contestant

But there's speculation that Brexit could affect the UK's

Our Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg reports.

Love it or hate it, here is one European institution the UK is

remaining info now. -- in for now. It is the final of the Eurovision

Song contest this Saturday in Keo. Lucie Jones is flying the UK's flag,

but will Brexit mean that it meets its Waterloo? Let's face it. In

recent years it has been hard enough for the United Kingdom to get 1's

from our European neighbours when we have been on speaking terms with

them. -- get points. But now that we are leaving the EU in an atmosphere

of acute disharmony, will that condemn the UK to eternal runner-up

in Eurovision? They may be excited about Eurovision in Kiev, but

Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May has warned that Brexit could scupper

the UK's Eurovision party. Welcome is the Prime Minister a Eurovision

fan? I can't imagine her sat with her flag at home. Honestly, whatever

happens happens. Brexit is so far out of my hands and my control. The

signs are that Europe has not fallen out of love with Britain. We have

discovered that even the French love having the UK in Eurovision. Well,

so that France would come last. France is very bad, but England is

worse. And being happy is what Eurovision is all about. It is not

the winning that counts. Just as well. The UK hasn't won the contest

for 20 years. Would you say we are being a little defeatist? 20 get our

excuses in already? I didn't mind that chap who said he was pleased

the UK was in because they are so rubbish they will be even worse than

France. We are happy to help. And we'll be talking to Steve live

from Kiev after 8:00. Imagine enjoying a swim in the ocean

just off the coast of California Attention, in the water. This is the

Orange County sheriff's department. The device, state parks is asking us

to make an announcement to let you know you are at boarding next to

approximately 15 great white sharks. They are advising that you Brexit

the water. In a calm manner. Right, OK! That's easy, then. Because there

are only 15 of them. That's the Orange County Sheriff's

Department warning a group of paddle-boarders they're swimming

next to 15 great white sharks. A police helicopter spotted

the sharks near Dana Point, A woman was bitten in the area

at the end of April. So they are obviously very aware and

everybody is very concerned. 15! I can't believe nobody noticed them.

Can you imagine just calmly paddle boarding a long? I suppose they need

to give that much detailing information to tell people they are

serious. You could just say, shark! That would do it for me. Big shark,

big fish. Good morning. Here is our big fish. I wish. In a small pond.

No, that's wrong. Imagine if you were trying to escape from a shark,

the worst thing you can do is paddle furiously, because you create more

motion and more disturbance. And you would have to stay on the board.

It's as if you make yourself look like a turtle, put your arms and

feet in... Have you had nightmares about this? I have thought about it

a lot! Let's go to calmer waters. Manchester United are through, they

have a chance if they can beat Ajax. They made it a bit more difficult

for themselves than they needed to. Manchester United survived a late

scare but beat Celta Vigo on aggregate to book their place

in the Europa League final. Marouane Fellaini scored as United

drew 1-1 at Old Trafford They'll now face Ajax in the final

in Stockholm on May 24. Chelsea can win the Premier

League title tonight. Victory at West Brom would give them

an unbeatable 10-point lead Victory would make Antonio Contey

only the fourth manager to lift the Premier League trophy

in his first season in England. Everton manager Ronald Koeman,

is prepared to lose Ross Barkley The England midfielder has just

a year left on his current deal, and Koeman says the club,

want an answer by the end And Andy Murray's poor

run of form continues. He's out of the Madrid Open,

the world number one knocked out Borna Coric beat Murray in straight

sets to ensure he has failed to reach the quarterfinals in two

of his last three tournaments. The world number one says he is

concerned by his recent form. Durham beat Nottinghamshire,

by 4 wickets in their One Day Cup match, but one astonishing six

from Alex Hales stole the headlines. He managed a total of three,

in his innings of 104. But with this one, he found the only

open window in a radio commentary box and the ball was picked up

by one of the two gentlemen Here's how it went for

BBC Radio Nottingham's Dave COMMENTATOR: The first ball

he bowled round the wicket, Hales hits this towards me -

it's coming towards me, it's coming! It's coming to our

commentary position! That is amazing! It is coming

towards me, it is coming towards me! At least they didn't break the

glass. That is the voice you want if there are sharks in the water. It is

coming towards me! That's it for now. We will be going through the

papers in a moment. Here's Matt with a look

at this morning's weather. We have been on the back of a long

dry spell full, looking at some of the records this morning and in

parts of western Scotland they have gone 18 days without rain. That is

about to change. Some have seen rain already in the west of Scotland will

stay dry again but elsewhere they may find a downpour at some point.

Sunshine as well and once the sun is out there will feel more humid than

it has recently. The wind direction has changed from Scandinavia and now

they are moving from south to north. There have been thunderstorms

yesterday across the west of the UK and rain in Southern counties of

England and Wales. Across parts of Wales and East Anglia occasional

whale takes us through the morning rush-hour before that moves into

northern England and starts to fizzle. Northern Ireland sees

showers on through day but into Scotland, a dry story once again. A

few showers in the west that much of area is dry and bright. Some rain

later in the east and into the Midlands and East Anglia which could

see heavy showers breaking out. Sunshine in between. Temperatures

around 20 degrees but the showers could be nasty in a couple of spots.

The southern counties will see morning clouds break with sunshine

in the afternoon if a little bit humid although formal will hold on

to rain and some more rain will return to south-western Wales later.

The rest of Wales brightens up to sunshine. In Northern Ireland it is

predominantly cloudy through the afternoon with spots of rain to

finish the day. Into tonight we will see the rain across parts of

Scotland and Northern Ireland, even northern England, continue for a

while. In the south it will be a bit dry. A little bit of mist in some

places tonight and the temperatures should hold into double figures for

most. Into the weekend across the north is a cloudy note. It

occasional rain through the morning easing into the afternoon. Much of

England and Wales will have a bright day with sunny spells. Only a couple

of passing showers and some people will stay completely dry. Certainly

feeling pleasant with temperatures into the high teens possibly low

20s. Finishing the day with rain on Northern Ireland and that rain will

push east to west overnight into Sunday clearing off into the North

Sea which leaves us with sunshine and showers on Sunday. Showers will

be heaviest across Scotland, Northern Ireland and England with

hail and thunder. The further south and east may not see any showers.

With the sun out it will feel pleasant again. With rain in the

four custom sure there will be gardeners and farmers very happy

indeed. Quite pleased to have a little rain. It will be good for the

garden. Look now at the papers this Friday morning. Many are leading

with the election and the fallout from the leaking and the

rubberstamping of the manifesto for Labour. The sun are quite damning.

They call it a day of disasters. Their headline refers to the fact

that their union leader fell down the stairs and BBC cameraman had his

Fort run over by a Labour vehicle. Not all of the newspapers are as

damning, are they? No, not all of them. The Guardian says that Jeremy

Corbyn... You can see the picture of him they're coming out after the

meeting yesterday to confirm the manifesto with just a couple of

tweaks. He is addressing the press and said he will be holding an

enquiry into how the document was leaked in the first place but we

will not hear the results until after the election. He also said he

is not a part of. And that was the thing we're expecting to hear him

say officially today. It is clear how various newspapers are lining up

for this election. And this is another one that describes the

manifesto as a fan fantasy and the Daily Mirror puts the attention on

the National health service. It has an exclusive letter sent to the

Prime Minister from a group of nurses asking Fred to a 1% pay rise

cap, saying that the NHS is in a desperate state. But the break from

politics. Do you have anything for us, Ben? No politics here. Three big

names on the front of the financial tea, Times. Beating Italian

investors that they will cut thousands of jobs but they have also

cut the pay of the CEO by ?4 million. The job cuts are mostly in

the UK as part of an overhaul of how business works. Underneath that, the

story is Emirates with profits falling for the first time in five

years. An 82% fall in profits for the airlines because of a

combination of election uncertainty, Brexit uncertainty but also the ban

on laptops for travellers coming from Middle Eastern countries to the

United States. Beneath that, Lloyds says it will generate a populate a

?500 million. We had to bail that bank out at one point, we owed about

43% at the height of the financial crisis. Now we are just a quarter of

1% in the rest will be sold in the coming days. They say overall we

will have made a profit of 500 million quid. Not that an investment

but then again, with how much we ploughed into it... The Spanish

Grand Prix and if Lewis Hamilton had been around in 1896 he may have been

driving one of these. Amazingly, this is a at an exhibition in

London. The first car to ever get a speeding ticket for doing eight MPh.

Surely a carriage could go faster? Read the story. The policeman chased

him on a bike to give him a speeding ticket. And then one of the hazards

of golf in America. No bunkers but an alligator. This player he has two

chip to the green over an alligator. It is quite common in America these

days. I don't know if you boys have ever had this happen to you. You

turn up at something and everybody else is wearing the same thing? It

is a next time thing. We always discuss our neckties. -- neckties.

Look at the pictures. I love this. This lady here turned up... I think

she went to the Badminton, the horse trials, with that yellow puff at

jacket on and quickly realised that it was a popular piece of clothing

and managed to take a picture of herself with everybody else she

could find wearing exactly the same code. Were they selling them outside

at a stall, like a football scarf? I think that is the only option. You

have to make a joke if you see somebody else in the same outfit.

You cannot run away. You must face up. If this has ever happened to

you, and the picture into us this morning we would love to see them.

It is 23 minutes past six. Thank you very much and we will see you both

later. Did you know you're more likely

to be a victim of cybercrime It's one of the fastest growing

areas of criminal activity. In the fightback, police forces

are now offering detectives specialist training to help them

catch cybercriminals - and the BBC's technology

correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones has In a hotel room, a man who may be

part of an international crime gang is preparing a cyber attack. His

lair has all the tools of his trade and the police are on their way. But

this is not a traditional forensic operation where you look for

fingerprints... These police officers are being trained to catch

cyber criminals and the hacker in the hotel is the exercise today,

based on a real case. They have been given the skills to tackle the

fastest-growing area of crime. Some estimates say that up to half of all

offences are now cyber. The hacker in this room has popped out for a

while and the trainee officers are about to arrive. Let's see what

evidence they can find. Stay where you are! We have a warrant! They are

taking it seriously. Ring clear! It's not a smart TV, so you should

be OK to unplug that. The first priority is to make sure that all

the computers stay powered up and do not lock after a certain time. That

way they can get access to data far more easily. What did you just

discover? I'm still seeing laptop and one phone. Examining the router

they have discovered there is another device they have yet to

spot. Hidden under a tray, a tablet with more evidence. The techniques

they are learning should make hunting hacker is far more

efficient. Back in the day, on a scene like this for example the

offices would time up and literally just pull the electric supply out of

the back of the computer, back in Taggart and then fended away from

forensic investigation which could take months before they had any

meaningful information back from the system. It's a case of learning

skills, practical skills that we can utilise, no different to finding a

gun at a scene that we can make assay for the public and then

tribute to a criminal. We are doing the same with IT equipment and

computers. Although people do not see this as the here and now I think

it most certainly will be. These detectives are among thousands going

through this type of training. As a try to keep our with a cyber crime

wave that is getting bigger by the day. -- as the police try to keep up

with. We're talking about the gadgets that

were the height of technology in their day but probably did things

you can now do with just Vodafone have just announced

they won't be making any Later in the programme we're taking

a look back at some of the best retro gadgets, and asking

which you've still got at home. Most of them. I still have most of

them. In a draw that you cannot open? You keep them there when you

look for a charger or something. Did you used to be glued

to your portable cassette player? Have you still got a mobile phone

in a drawer somewhere that looks You can e-mail us at

[email protected] or get in touch on social media,

and send us your pictures too if you've got any good

old gadgets that you still use. I would love to see a photograph of

the oldest mobile phone that some of you may have. One we need to pull

out of the area. Or a car phone. -- pull

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Sally Nugent and Jon Kay.

We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

but also on Breakfast this morning, we're live at one of Britain's

oldest public baths as it prepares to welcome swimmers for the first

time in nearly a quarter of a century.

It was only created five years ago, but a British virtual reality firm

has received nearly 400 million pounds of investment

We'll find out what's behind this huge boost -

and what it means for the UK tech industry.

Love it or hate it, Eurovision is back!

But will Brexit affect the UK's chances in the competition?

We'll be live from Kiev with all the build up to the big

Those are not written's entries and to be clear. No, but they look

great. Thousands of weapons have

been seized in schools Figures provided by 32 police forces

to the Press Association shows that in the last 2 years,

more than 2,500 weapons had been found in schools including

swords, axes and air guns. Police chiefs say there's been

a "worrying increase" in young In a few minutes we'll be discussing

this with anti-violence campaigner Barry Mizen, whose teenage son

Jimmy was killed in 2008. The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn,

will this morning give a speech on foreign affairs in which he'll

insist he isn't a pacifist. Mr Corbyn will say that he is

make her own pitch to traditional Labour voters in the

north-east of England. She'll accuse Mr Corbyn of deserting

"patriotic working class people." President Trump says he wants

a quick investigation into allegations of Russian

interference in the US elections. In his first extensive television

interview since he abruptly sacked the FBI's director James Comey

he told the American network NBC News that he wasn't under

investigation himself. I was going to fire James Comey. My

decision. You had made the decision? I was going to fire him. There is no

good time to do it, by the way. You later said you accepted their

recommendations. But you had already made the decision? I was going to

fire regardless of recommendations. Detectives investigating

the death of a businessman, who was shot dead during a suspected

burglary at his home in Dorset, Police say a 45-year-old man

from Poole is being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to commit

aggravated burglary. Three men have been charged

with murdering Guy Hedger during the May Day

Bank Holiday weekend. It's the finals of the Eurovision

song contest tomorrow. Last night Ireland crashed out

of the semi finals but the UK will be represented by the former

X Factor contestant Ten acts from each semifinal have

gone through to Saturday's grand final and join the so-called

"big five" - France, Germany, Italy, Spain

and United Kingdom - Later we'll be chatting

about what effect Brexit could have, if any, on Britain's

chances this year. I am not sure who that is. I think

that is the Portuguese entry. Well, you know more than me. A man who

dances with a gorilla, I heard about it on the radio.

Could man's best friend be a bear's worst enemy?

Here is a bear that has been making a nuisance of itself

in San Gabriel Valley in Southern Califronia.

Its been going into gardens, chasing other wildlife,

walking on walls, rooting through bins and generally scaring

But the tables were turned when it came up against one brave dog,

who as you can see stared the bear down, and chased it away and back

Get off my land! It is like a Disney movie, isn't it? Yes! Coming soon to

a big screen near you. The brave dog that chased away the scary bare.

Well, that is the morning's their news. Victory to the dog, very good.

As a child I always did that with friends, trying to work out which

animal would eat which other animal, polar bear versus gorilla. It was

like animal top trumps. Dog wins against there, very good. -- against

bear. I'm trying to think of a general election equivalent. Well,

Manchester United. They almost made their match against Celta Vigo last

night. They are through to the Europa League final. It is the one

trophy they have never won, even when it was the Uefa Cup. Why did

Jose Mourinho call it the most important game in their history?

Just building it up, I guess. It is not, not at all. Not compare to a

Champions League final. But it is a big one.

Manchester United beat Celta Vigo 2-1 on aggregate to reach

They went into the second leg at Old Trafford with a single goal

lead and Marouane Fellaini doubled their advantage

after quarter of an hour with a fantastic header.

The Spanish side had numerous chances to pull a goal back

and Facundo Roncaglia did just that 5 minutes from time.

The Celta goalscorer was then sent off along with United's Eric Bailly

It was a nervy end for the home fans but United survived to reach

the final on May the 24th in Stockholm.

They'll face Dutch side Ajax who, says Mourinho,

will have an advantage in their preparations.

Ajax plays about the final, thinks about the final. Their league is

finished on Sunday and they will have 12 days to prepare for the

final. We have three Premier League matches to play. Hopefully...

Crystal Palace doesn't need that last game. Because in the last game

I am going to make a lot of changes. Chelsea will be crowned

Premier League champions for the second time in three seasons

if they win at West Brom tonight. They lead Tottenham by seven points,

and need just one win from three Our players are totally focused on

the moment. They are feeling this moment, this important moment, for

us, for the club, for the fans. We are in a good position, a good

position. But we mustn't forget that we must take two points to reach

this target. Andy Murray's difficulties

since returning from He's been knocked out

of the Madrid Open at The world number one

was beaten in straight sets by the Croatian Borna Corich,

who is the world number 59, and only qualified for

the tournament as a "lucky loser." Murray has now failed

to reach the quarterfinals, in two of his last

three tournaments. Rory McIlroy has had

a difficult first round at the Players Championship,

the American tournament regarded But he is now six strokes behind the

leader. One of par, after a round of 73. At the Masters champion, Sergio

Garcia, also entered the day on one over. He had a slightly more

memorable day, hitting a hole on the 17th. He hadn't had the greatest

ground before now. He was three over par for now. He loves it, and the

crowd loves it too. Drinks on Sergio.

British riders Geraint Thomas and Adam Yates will start stage 7

of the Giro d'Italia in second and third place overall,

ten seconds behind Bob Jungels of Luxembourg.

Having started in Sardinia and Sicily, the race reached

the bottom, of the Italian mainland, and is moving north.

Stage 6 out of 21 yesterday was won by Swiss rider Silvan Diliali,

his first stage victory at a Grand Tour.

Jonny Brownlee says he is hungry to put the hurt of last year's

He missed out on the world title in the heat of Mexico,

in the the last race of the season, as brother Alistair

famously had to help an exhaused Jonny over the line.

He's back in action in Yokohama tomorrow and if it's going to be hot

there, Brownlee will be prepared for it, after working with the Royal

I have spent more time in the hot and humid conditions. At home I have

converted my conservatory into a kind of heat chamber. So I can get

my conservatory going, most people sit around on a nice city, but mine

gets up to about 37 degrees in the heat sometimes. I can switch away in

there. I have had a few sessions in there to try to get used to your

karma. He will have a whopping heating bill. He can grow some plans

at the same time. The men's and women's races will be on the red

button at two o'clock in the morning. If that is too early,

extended highlights on both races at one o'clock in the afternoon on

Sunday, hosted by our very own Louise. Looking forward to that.

Children as young as 5 have been found with weapons at schools

Figures provided by 32 police forces to the Press Association shows that

in the last 2 years, more than 2,500 weapons have been

At least one in five of those weapons were knives.

Others include samurai swords, axes and air guns.

To discuss this we're now joined by Barry Mizen whose 16-year-old son

Jimmy was killed in an attack by another teenager.

He now runs a charity in his memory aimed at stopping young people

The figures we are talking about this morning are really very

shocking indeed. I would like to start with you by saying, could you

tell us a bit about Jimmy, and what happened to him? Jimmy was my second

youngest son. He was killed nine years ago this week, actually. We

had the ninth anniversary a couple of days ago. Jimmy was a great young

lad, he went into a bakery shop on a Saturday morning and was attacked by

a local teenager. He had a glass ditch smashed in his face and a

piece of glass severed arteries in his neck. We hear the headlines, we

hear terrible stories like what happened to Jimmy, and yet still

kids are going into schools with all kinds of things. Some obvious

weapons, some less obvious weapons. When you see those figures and you

hear these headlines today, what do you think, given your experiences?

Disappointed, to be honest. Because we are focusing on the wrong area, I

think. Yes, getting the weapons off the street, absolutely, but is that

all we are going to do? A weapons count every year? We are focusing

far too much on the end, rather than the beginning. People don't just get

like this, it is a gradual process. So what is the beginning? I think it

is a progress. Myself and my wife is at lots of schools and we are being

asked to speak more and more now to eight -year-olds and nine

-year-olds. As children are growing up they are just going down a

particular path. For me, it is about prevention, rather than trying to

treat something at the end of it. We do that with the NHS, we see it as

preventative health issues rather than trying to treat them at the

end. We seem to be focusing on the idea that ever harsher punishment

will solve these things for us, and I don't believe it does. People have

to face consequences for their actions, absolutely. But if that is

all we are going to do, increase punishment all the time, in our

frustration at what is going on, I don't believe that is the answer. We

need to get in there earlier. Some people have a long history and then

eventually they kill somebody. A lot could have been done in the years

preceding that. I know that when you go into schools you talk to

classrooms about Jimmy. You feel very strongly that if it can happen

to him where you were, it can happen everywhere. This isn't something

that just happens somewhere else to other people's kids. Unfortunately,

we seem to think it is. We think of it being somebody else, not us. We

are a very ordinary family. These things always happen to America is.

-- to ordinary families. We speak in prisons is welcome and the amount of

times that we get people who have committed murder scene, I didn't

mean to do it. They never intended to do it. If we just want to hype up

the consequences in the belief that that will solve this issue, I think

we are seriously misled. You said that you spoke to eight and nine

-year-olds. When you speak to those very young children, do you see a

change in them when you tell your story? There is a lot of empathy

from them, and a lot of questions from them. It was heartbreaking, I

was at a school a couple of years ago, and afterwards a young girl

came up and she had 50p in her hand and she said, for your charity.

There is such empathy in our young people. There is such a

determination. They want to work something better and something

different. We must come away from this idea that ever harsher

punishment will solve these issues. Barry, thank you very much. I know

you are coming back to talk to us again later in the programme, so

thank you. We'll be talking to the police later as well, about what can

be done from the policing side. Here is met with all the weather

details. The weather has been on the turn and it has been dry for some

time. Across some parts of Northern Ireland it has been 17 days since we

saw rain. In the West of Scotland it has been a full 18 days. But all of

us will see rain over the next few days. Some have seen some this

morning. There will be scattered showers around today, some quite

thundery later across central parts. It will feel humid as well and that

is because the air comes up from the south. The cloud moves from south to

north so that as the wind flow from Iberia and France. It would rain

across some parts of Wales and England which is now reaching to

north-west England this afternoon. A few showers in Northern Ireland but

in Scotland another largely dry day. The showers in the far west, eastern

areas cloudy and cool but much of the Central Highlands is 20 degrees

possible later. Rain clearing out from north-west England through the

latter stage of the afternoon before some thunderstorms deadened for the

eating a lot of dry weather here during the second half of the day.

The Midlands and East Anglia, this is where the focus for some slogan

moving thunderstorms with hail mixed in could be around this afternoon. A

lot of rain and a short space of time. It will feel warm and the

sunshine, far more such runaround Southern counties after a cloudy

morning. As we had to words Cornwall and southern parts of Wales there

will be some further rain developing through the day particularly across

the western half of Cornwall. A predominantly cloudy story

elsewhere. Later tonight we will see the thunderstorms across parts of

northern England fade away quite quickly. It could stay down across

parts of Northern Ireland and some rain returning to northern England

and parts of Scotland overnight. Temperatures stay up further south

you are the dry, the weekend to those of you in Scotland and

Northern Ireland in northern England in particular starts cloudy and

damp. Misty as well across Scotland thirsting that muggy to go with it.

Brightening up in the afternoon with some showers around that much of

England and Miles has a predominantly dry day. England we

will see a couple showers. Nice when the sun is out, not quite as muggy

as today with temperatures around 17- 20 degrees. After a spill of

overnight rain, and a lot of rain sweeping in. Widespread showers, the

heaviest in parts of Scotland in north-west England with rumbles of

thunder. The further south and east you are avoid showers altogether. It

gets warmer into next week. Certainly some rain in the forecast

that we had not seen for a while and, of course, without rain on dry

ground we get a lovely delicious scent and it does have a name, it is

cold petrichor. It it sounds like an oil company. It is a more natural

than that. The governor of the Bank of England has been speaking, giving

some analysis of the last summer for the general election and we will

start feeling the pinch. The cost of living is set to rise

faster than wages this year - that's what the Governor of the Bank

of England said in his last big assessment of the economy

before the election. Four times a year the Bank publishes

an updated report on the state of the economy - but this one

is being watched more closely given that it comes just before

the general election. Well, they say the economy will grow

more slowly this year, by 1.9% rather than the 2%

they first thought. And the economy relies

on consumers spending cash - That does not seem like a lot but we

will discuss it in more detail. but the economy relies

on consumers spending cash. We've got less money in our pockets

because the cost of living is rising The Bank of England Governor blamed

that on a weak pound. Good morning, Hannah. As Sally said

there is a lot to get through yesterday we heard a lot from the

Bank of England. What was the standout moment? The really came

takeaway is that there will be extra pressure on household income that

your wages will not purchase so much over the next year. It pays to look

after your own money and make sure you are not spending anything on

stuff you do not need. We look at wage growth on average it does not

impact everybody in the same way that you can take positive action to

make sure you are maximising your income and not paying anyone

anything you shouldn't be. None of this was unexpected. The bank had

been warning us of inflation and that the cost of living would carry

on going up and our wages would not keep pace. It is not a huge surprise

but we have narrowed it now, haven't we? The average wage growth is

matching inflation at the moment and inflation is expected to go up, the

speed at which prices is rising, and wage growth is expected to slow but

the good news is that after this year it is anticipated to get

better. That said, with the election and with Brexit, the Bank of England

simply do not know and, of course, they are warning us, they are

cautious, they were very measured. They simply do not know what to

expect. Hopefully will not be terrible and hopefully it will be

positive after this. Certainly they said there is a lot of investment in

business which gives them good confidence in the British economy

from next year forward so the thing is, you know, we spent a lot last

year, the Bank of England warned that were borrowing too much. So now

we have taken notice and are spending less and that is why people

are starting to become concerned. The key is to spend what you can

afford, and know what you can afford and estate that. How do you mitigate

against this? That is the thing. You touched on what we can be doing that

is their light at the end of the tunnel? Will things get better? The

Bank of England are positive. The revised growth down but only

slightly. They set from next year it should increase again and that next

year inflation should taper off and wage growth should continue upwards

to match it. The feeling that is preventing weight or is increasing

at the moment is because employers simply do not know what will happen

with the election and with Brexit so they are being cautious. Please

remember, unemployment is at an all-time low so that is not the big

issue. The figures are positive, we just... We need to be protective and

how we are looking after our finances going forward and making a

few simple switches. Looking at the money you have coming in, watching

where it is going. A little bit of self budgeting, that is the advice.

Thank you very much. More from me after seven o'clock.

Many of Britain's historic swimming pools have been closed over

the years - but now community groups are helping restore and re-open them

This weekend, one of the oldest pools in the UK will welcome

swimmers for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century.

It does look beautiful. Good morning. It is these beautiful

tiles, isn't it? That makes you think it is historic pools and how

fantastic they are. But have a look through here. This is the glorious

Victoria baths in Manchester. A hive of activity. Good morning to you

all. There is something wrong with these curtains. They are a little

short. Ladies out there. Good morning. They are an Bunting duty

because this is the big weekend for a big swing to raise money to reopen

this place. There are fights like this happening right across the

country. This is a special moment in the new

history of this old pool. How excited are you for this moment? Oh,

really excited because it has been 24 years says the public has had

access to the pool so I think it will be really good fun. This

weekend, Manchester's Victoria baths will be filled with the sounds of

swimming once again. Another historic pools saved from closure by

a dedicated team of local heroes, exactly what happened in leads. --

Leeds. We were afraid of losing it. Here, in Leeds, in 2013 the future

of the pool was threatened. We were inspired by the people who did not

want it to close and become a museum. It was a team effort. The

public step that is a bit and now support us. A rallying cry went out

for volunteers to turn it around. Today, it is run by the community as

a social enterprise. How old are you? Can I ask? I am 86. And you

have been coming here since you were...? Since I was five. It was

beautiful back then. It has always been like this. Will you be coming

here for quite sometime? I do hope so. I hope to hit 100 if I am lucky.

In Newcastle the community came together when the threat of closure

turned into reality. When we heard that the Turkish baths were going to

close, I can't tell you the reaction. The site has been used by

generations before me and I thought that future generations would not

have use of it and that thought was so sad. This pool in the Turkish

bath which lie beneath closed in 2013. A victim of council cuts. At

another dedicated local campaign means that they will soon reopen. It

is coming up towards its 100th year. It will have every chance now of

moving into its second century. That does not hop on and off in this day

and age. The pool is magnificent but this... This is the real gem, isn't

it? When you came down those stairs with the towel you are going down

into a place of rest and relaxation. The jewel in the crown of the pool.

So, early next year after a ?5 million redevelopment by a charity

this place will reopen. Britain has lost just under half of its historic

pools. Campaigns like this are race against time.

It really is a race against time. Half of the pools of gone, half of

them as lost the fight to be bought back to life. We will have more for

you later. We lost the sound a little bit there but we got the

gist. It looks unbelievably beautiful. It made me want to go for

a swim. How gorgeous. I might do it in a

And we will be speaking about that much more throughout the programme

this morning. The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn,

will this morning give a speech on foreign affairs and insist

he isn't a pacifist and he's prepared to use military

force as a last resort. The Prime Minister will make her own

pitch to traditional Labour voters She'll accuse Mr Corbyn of deserting

"patriotic working class people." Our political correspondent

Eleanor Garnier is in Westminster Eleanor, both leaders are addressing

perceived weaknesses That is right. Jeremy Corbyn,

remember, is a former chairman of the Stop the War Coalition, a

long-standing critic of military intervention in Iraq, Syria and the

Denistone. Today he is putting forward his case full being a

potential world leader, saying that he is not a pacifist and is capable

of ordering military action as a genuine last resort and only under

international law. He will also have a pop at Theresa May, saying that

she is pandering to Donald Trump, and saying that under him, Labour's

foreign policy would not involve holding the hands of the US

president. Theresa May is getting pretty personal today as well. Her

speech in the north-east of England is designed to win over people who

have voted for Labour generation after generation. She will accuse

Jeremy Corbyn of turning his back on proud patriot it working class

people. Putting herself forward is the only candidate who can take the

country through Brexit negotiations. The Lib Dems are focusing on

parenting today. They say that under them, dads would get an extra month

of paid eternity leave. They are calling its daddy month. A former

Lib Dem minister told us that it was all about putting forward equal

parenting and putting a value on the amount of input that fathers can

have in children's lives. , thank you. -- Eleanor, thank you.

through the general election campaign now with just over four

weeks to go until polling day. The deadline's now passed

for the political parties We'll be getting the official list

of who is standing where on Monday but let's chat about what we know

so far with political analyst Good morning, John. Thank you for

joining us. Good morning. What are you looking for, when you go through

these potential lists on Monday, of who is work, in terms of numbers and

parties and who is fielding how many candidates, what are the biggest

changes since the last election? I think undoubtedly the biggest

changes will be that we will have fewer Ukip candidates. Last time

around, Ukip fought all the seats in England and Wales. We already know

that that will not be the case this time. We will also be interested to

see how much the Greens will be fighting this time. I believe that

will also be less. Lots of interest and speculation is already going on,

because we can see the lists in many individual councils, as to what

extent this standing down by Ukip and the Greens is simply an accident

solve, you know, we simply cannot find a candidate or we do not have

enough money to fight the election, and to what extent it is deliberate,

ie trying to help out another party. We know that the Greens will not be

fighting in at least half of the constituencies that the Liberal

Democrats are trying to defend, and in some cases that looks to be

deliberate. There is not one constituency the Lib Dems are not

going to fight, and that is Brighton Billion, whether Greens want to hang

onto their one and only seat equally, there is a lot of

speculation that Ukip are standing down in some places to help out the

Conservatives. That is some discussion with the Brexiteer MPs,

they seem to be holding onto that promise. There are some places were

Ukip of standing against the Lib Dems, not to help the Lib Dems but

to help the Conservatives. And there are quite a few constituencies

Labour are trying to defend, where again, Ukip are not putting up a

candidate. How much of that is deliberate and how much is

accidental is difficult to tell. But it will inevitably cause speculation

as to whether it will make it more difficult for Labour candidates to

win their constituents, if people who would otherwise vote for Ukip

will switch the Conservatives. So lots of speculation about

consequences of this fact that there will be fewer green and Ukip

candidates. There seems to be considerably more obvious this time

round. Is that right? More parties deciding to field here, but not bad,

that sort of thing. It might be more out of necessity rather than

politics, as you said, but it is not trained in politics. Yes and no is

the answer to your question. At the end of the day there was lots of

speculation about whether or not they would be co-ordination between

the Greens, the Liberal Democrats and the Labour Party in terms of not

standing down. Labour are standing everywhere, apart from against the

Speaker in Buckingham, which is tradition. The Liberal Democrats are

Mr Dhanin won the seat. It has basically been the Greens, who at

basically in favour of a soft Brexit, unhappy about the UK

leaving. Ukip, of course, other party of Brexit. It is those fringe

parties who have to decide to make a decision about whether, in certain

circumstances, they would prefer try to help somebody else when rather

than stand a candidate themselves. Relatively unusual, it has always

been the case of smaller parties to not necessarily fight everywhere,

and they were set to make a choice. We have also had the same kind of

debate in Northern Ireland, as to what extent there would be, on the

one hand, a pact between the parties who are opposed to Northern Ireland

leaving the European Union, that has not happened. Sinn Fein, as DLP,

they are standing everywhere. With the unions, we are again seeing that

the Ulster Unionists are being given a free run by the Democratic

Unionists. Meanwhile, that is being reciprocated in north Belfast.

Beyond that, again, we'll see unionist candidates fighting each

other in the north. I think in the end we will find that there was a

lot more speculation about pacts then we see in practice from get the

full list of nominations. OK, John, thank you. We are halfway through to

the big night. humid. Here we have the details from

the roof of the BBC. Good morning to you all. Something else in the air,

the lovely scent of wet ground. it is called. We have rain in the

forecast. Many gardeners and farmers will be rejoicing.

Yesterday we had showers with heavy thunder later. Let's look at the

details then because we have the air coming up from Iberia and France.

Bands of cloud are sweeping the rain northwards. That band you can see

stretching into Wales and Midlands is where we have rain. Raining on

and off at through the next few hours. Brightening up towards the

south after overnight rain but the rain will continue to edge

northwards into north-west England in south-west Scotland later.

Northern Ireland sunshine and showers on. Scotland should be

largely die except a few showers in the west and with central Scotland

seeing the best of the sunshine again, highs of around 20 Celsius.

After a cloudy spell in northern England, the sunshine comes out with

heavy thunder showers moving in. Through the afternoon though showers

in the Midlands and East Anglia will be pretty nasty with how mixed in.

Southernmost counties, very few showers in the forecast and many dry

after the wet night. Wash sunshine this afternoon, and quite humid but

parts of Cornwall and into the south-west Wales will see further or

rain at times. Wales brightens up again with a few heavy showers that

cannot be ruled out that the Northern Ireland there will be

showers not through the day. Predominantly cloudy with a little

bit of sunshine. Tonight it will be reining in Scotland for once. Rain

on and off through the night and into the start of Saturday. Rain is

wharf in Northern Ireland and parts of north-west England. Elsewhere it

should be largely dry, especially the further south and east you are.

A cold start to the weekend and 11 degrees the general minimum. The

northern half of the country, citing the week cloudy, misty and muggy

across Scotland with outbreaks of rain. It eases off to sunshine and a

few clouds. Warm enough in the sunshine as well. In Sunday,

overnight rain from east to west across the UK. The thunder has

showers wide across the country will. Most of the showers will be in

the north-west of the country. You've been sending in photos

areas of criminal activity. In the fightback, police forces

are now offering detectives specialist training to help them

of all offences are now cyber. The hacker in this room has popped

like this for example the officers would turn up and literally just

pull the electric supply out of the back of the computer,

bag and tag it and then send it away from forensic investigation

which could take months before they had any meaningful information

back from the system. It's a case of learning skills,

practical skills that we can utilise, no different to finding

a gun at a scene that we can make safe for the public and then

attribute to a criminal. We are doing the same with IT

equipment and computers. Although people do not see this

as the here and now I think it most These detectives are among thousands

Its been going into gardens, chasing other wildlife,

walking on walls, rooting through bins and generally scaring

Just being a general will leave. Going through the bins, scaring

people, basically. Yeah, look at that. But Hang on a minute! It was

not ready for that brave dog. He chased the bear down and he ran

away. That is what you should do to all bullies, stare them down. A

brave dog. I don't think he had read the text books. They, it's not all

about size. In fact, there are whole websites dedicated to this debate of

which animal would beat which animal in the ring. And apparently the top

trumps animal is the elephant. Because it can just sit down on

anything? Well, it has got its tasks, it has got its weight. Top

trunks. Yes, exactly. Well, Manchester United are into the

Europa League final. That is a trophy they have never won. It gets

them into the Champions League if they can beat Ajax.

Manchester United beat Celta Vigo 2-1 on aggregate to reach

They went into the second leg at Old Trafford

And Marouane Fellaini doubled their advantage

after quarter of an hour with a fantastic header.

The Spanish side had numerous chances to pull a goal back

and Facundo Roncaglia did just that 5 minutes from time.

The Celta goalscorer was then sent off along with United's Eric Baie

It was a nervy end for the home fans - look how close the Spanish team

came to winning it here, but United survived to reach

They'll face Dutch side Ajax who, says Mourinho,

will have an advantage in their preparations.

Ajax plays the final, thinks about the final. Their league finishes

Sunday and they will have 12 days to prepare. We still have three Premier

League matches to play. Hopefully Crystal Palace doesn't need our last

game. Because in the last game I am going to make a lot of changes.

Chelsea will be crowned Premier League champions

for the second time in three seasons if they win at West Brom tonight.

They lead Tottenham by seven points, and need just one win from three

The players are totally focused on the moment. They are feeling that

this is an important moment for us, for the club, for the fans. We are

in a good position, in a good position. But we mustn't forget that

it will take two points to reach this target.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman is prepared to lose one of his star

players if he doesn't sign a new contract soon.

England midfielder Ross Barkley still has a year left on his current

deal but Koeman wants an answer from the player about his future

by the end of the season in nine days' time.

Andy Murray's difficulties since returning from

He's been knocked out of the Madrid Open at

The world number one was beaten in straight sets by the Croatian,

Borna Corich, who is the world number 59 -

and only qualified for the tournament as a "lucky loser."

Murray has now failed to reach the quarter finals,

in two of his last three tournaments.

Rory McIlroy is six shots behind the leader

at the Players Championship in America, after a difficult first

He finished one over par after a round of 73.

Masters champion Sergio Garcia, also ended the day on one over,

but had a slightly more memorable round.

Mainly because he hit a hole-in-one on the 17th.

He hadn't had the greatest round until then, he was 3 over par

until this point, but he likes it, the crowd loves it.

Durham beat Nottinghamshire, by 4 wickets in their One Day Cup

match, but one astonishing six from Alex Hales stole the headlines.

He managed a total of three, in his innings of 104.

But with this one, he found the only open window

And the ball was picked up by one of the two gentlemen from the BBC

Here's how it went for BBC Radio Nottingham's Dave

COMMENTATOR: Hales hits this towards me -

It's coming to our commentary position!

That is his catchphrase from now on. Actually, he is not as unlucky as

Edward Bevan, who has been hitting the common terry box. He has been

hit three times! It has come through the window, smashed the window, and

hit him in the head. Occupational hazard! Yes, they should have to

have an extra player on watch for the ball coming for him. I love it.

I think Mike might also remember some of the next little gadgets we

are going to be talking about. VHS players, fax machines

and portable cassette players - the gadgets of years gone by,

once cutting edge but now taken over by things like smartphones

and tablet computers. The pager is a device most would put

in that category but they're still used by some groups,

such as workers in the emergency services, who value the beeper's

reliability and wide coverage. There are only two providers left

in the UK and now one of them, Vodafone, has announced they're

shutting the service down. I don't even really know what this

is. We are going to find out. And that is a pager.

There are only two providers left in the UK and now one of them,

Vodafone, has announced they're shutting the service down.

So does that mean the pager will join the other

Nigel Linge, professor of telecommunications,

That is a great title. Good morning. Good morning. So, have pages had it?

Pagers as a pager, yes. At I would say the function is not obsolete. I

carry a smartphone with me every day which has all these functions

integrated. What happens is that technology evolves and changes its

shape and function. The pager divided an important function. That

messaging function, as you said, lots of people still needed. It is a

small group of people. The emergency services. We all remember pictures

of doctors wearing the white coat with the pocket, a couple of pens

and a pager. That was there to alert them that somewhere in the hospital

they needed to be contacted. And in lots of hospitals you cannot use

phones. No, you can't. But the pager and the mobile phone are different

technologies. They work in a different frequency, on a different

network. And in fact, the pager, in many ways, has better coverage. The

pager itself basically changed the way we lived and worked, didn't it?

It meant you could always be contacted. It was OK if you are near

a phone, but the pager came with you. It is the early stages of the

mobile technology, the wearable technology that you carry with you.

With most users, the pager user was the business and professional user

rather than us, the general public. But also, the design was quite

innovative. This is like a phone, you are chatting away, but is it

just a phone? No! Open it out and there is a whole keyboard inside it.

That is a Nokia communicator, one of the later versions. I feel like Star

Trek. Yes, indeed. It is also personal organiser, it has

applications on there. That is really where you start to see the

integration of technology. Nokia were not the first to do that. I

brought along the Ericsson. The Ericsson R380, not the first company

to integrate technology in this way, but the first to use that important

word on the box to describe what this thing has become, the

smartphone. Just incredible. Looking at your phone that you have brought

in, and this phone, from 30 years ago. Yes, that is the brick, from

1987. What you could do on that, was make phone calls. What you can do on

this tiny thing now, I mean, it controls your entire life. Yes, but

the thing in your left hand, the big one, is truly a mobile phone. That

is all that did. There is no text capability. It is an analogue phone,

it made phone calls. The thing in your right hand, the smartphone,

that makes everything. The fact that it makes a phone call is incidental.

It is my camera, diary, email, my television. We talked about the fact

that making phone calls was way down the table of things that we use our

mobile phones for. Yes, in fact, mobile phone call minutes are

declining every year. When we had that mobile phone I bet we never

imagined that we would end up with a smartphone that runs your life.

Well, that was also ?2500 when it first came out. That was another

little problem. It is going to be about more integration. We see

things like the smart watch. Early days, starting to develop. We have

got a bit more wearable technology. What is also changing is our

interfaces. So now, things are more voice-activated. I bought a new

smart television before Christmas and I can speak to it gentler to

change the channel. Voice activation... I have a wife to do

that. Careful! Mrs Kay, don't worry, I will clip around the year. Anyway,

all that sort of technology is going to continue to evolve and become

more and more integrated. Yes, it is unbelievable. We are not talking

about phone technology alone, this is an old cassette player, some

people say that they still listen to them and love them. Well, vinyl

records are selling again, surprisingly. Maybe these things

will never go away entirely. I think we need to bring ourselves back into

the modern era right now. Let's go to Matt, who has the first of

everything. Matt? Yeah, I'm with the technology here. We were scouring

the BBC office and we found this. What a beauty. At least this one has

a rewind button. Can't you remember those days of rewinding a tape with

a pencil? Ask your parents. Anyway, one bit of technology which has

stood the test of time is the design of the umbrella. Some of you may

actually need that today. Rain is back in the forecast for the next

few days. It has been a while, well over two weeks as we had any

recorded. There will be heavy showers today, especially for

England and Wales. Some of those will be foundry. Rayudu get a

sunshine, it will feel warm and humid. -- where you do. The change

is because of where it is coming from. The air is coming up from

Spain, France and Portugal, so it is inherently a little bit warmer. Lots

of cloud at the morning, and rain at the moment across the Midlands and

East Anglia. Fairly sporadic, pushing into north-west England

around lunchtime. Southern areas will brighten up a little bit.

Northern Ireland, a bit of sunshine breaking through the cloud amid

occasional rain. The best of the driest weather will be in Scotland.

This area is fairly cloudy and cool. West has a morning showers

brightening up. It is in the central highlands where we could hit 20

degrees. After a spell of patchy rain through lunchtime in northern

England, things Bright and appear before heavy showers mid-on later.

Those thundery showers through England, Wales and East Anglia in

the afternoon, some with hail as well. The southernmost counties of

England, with the exception of Cornwall, much of the day will be

dry. Temperatures up to 20. For Wales, as well as rain returning to

the south was later, after a brief bright spell, the rest of Wales will

see thunderstorms developing later on. We shouldn't get any thunder in

Northern Ireland, but predominantly cloudy and the organs of sunshine.

Some occasional bursts of rain too. Into tonight, rain affecting parts

of Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland as well.

Turning misty across Scotland. A fairly muggy night here compare to

what we have been used to. Further south it should stay dry. Around 11

degrees on Saturday. The start of the weekend, Scotland, Northern

Ireland and northern England cloudy to begin with, outbreaks of rain,

slowly brightening through the still some showers around. The further

south you are, you are publish they drive. Only one of two light showers

in the forecast. Warmun the sunshine with high as in the midteens to the

low 20s. Sunday, after a spell of overnight rain, showers fairly

widespread. South-eastern area is probably the driest throughout.

Across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England, the showers

could be heavy and thundery. Is it enough and sunshine comes out. Into

next week we could see temperatures climb up that little bit further

across southern and eastern areas. Mid- 20s possible, but only for a

short while. That is your weekend forecast. As I said, a bit of

welcome rain in the forecast for many of you over the next few days.

That's a part of the country where your phone doesn't work -

and research out this morning suggests a majority of small

businesses have a not-spot in their local area.

Ben's here to explain how it can be bad for business.

Yes - this drives me mad - not being able to get phone signal.

But as well as being annoying, it's affecting business.

More than two thirds of firms say not being able to stay in touch

is affecting trade including this firm in North Wales.

It is a huge problem. We have installation teams we cannot reach,

we do not know where they are and we cannot let clients know when they

will be there. We use three G wherever we can on side so they send

through pictures and checklists to make sure everything has been

installed. The fact that we can not get those signals creates a huge

problem. We pride ourselves on custom customer service and no

phones in nor makes it difficult for us -- and no phone signal makes that

difficult for us. Dan Howdle is a telecoms expert

with cable.co.uk and joins me now. There are three different ways that

we understand mobiles and the UK. First, the coverage from providers.

The coverage maps are calculated using a map. You have a mask and a

covers a certain area and measures the topography because that plays a

part if there are hills in the wake and it gives you a rough idea of of

where the signal hits. The problem is that as soon as you go inside a

building with thick walls or a metal lift or something like that where

things diminish. The second way of measuring youths... A report last

week based on open signal data and that is an app that people have on

their phone takes a silent measure of this phone signal level. The

problem is that people do not stand in the middle of a field to take a

measurement. We have holes in that sort of data as well. And then the

third Way we understand it is through people 's own experience

which is different from all the rest. From day today we find there

are times when you cannot get signal and it is quite annoying for us and

for business if they cannot do their job and that is a worry. Depending

on the type of business, absolutely. This world is increasingly connected

and it is increasingly difficult to do many types of business online. I

can think of examples of people who are graphic designers all work in an

industry where they are able to go and work at home so they think oh,

what an ideal lifestyle. I will live in the country and do my work and

then I can upload... No, that does not happen. So we see people calling

on these phone phone companies to improve coverage. The reality can be

sometimes different. We solve this problem. Is putting up more of these

masts? In wide open areas of countryside where there are very few

hills, the problem is easy to solve. In inner cities where there are many

buildings and man-made structures in the way they create these little

pockets where there is no signal at all. The solution is simply to

shrink down the technology and rather than having a master it have

a small cell, a smaller version of the items that are attached to

mobile masts that send and receive a signal and to dock them in places in

the urban environment, on the side of buildings and, you know, on posts

as street furniture, essentially. That gets us into a whole other

argument which is that nobody wants them on their doorstep, do they?

Thank you for coming to talk to us. More from me after eight o'clock.

Many of Britain's historic swimming pools have been closed over

the years but now community groups are helping restore and re-open them

This weekend, one of the oldest pools in the UK will welcome

swimmers for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century.

Jayne McCubbin is there - thinking of an early dip,

It does look a glorious. Good morning. Isn't it beautiful? Good

enough to dive in although I won't. And, look at the gang up here. Good

morning. That is some of the 700 friends of Victoria Baths were

fought to try and keep this place open. They are still fighting to get

it open fully further public in the future. Chris, it is still chilly

down here, 19 degrees I am told although it will get hotter for the

big swing this weekend. Certainly it well. It will reach at least 27

degrees. Listen, there are pools like this stoutly across the country

that have not been reopened that are lying empty right now but the

public, as you say, really is trying to fight back and save them.

This is a special moment in the new history of this old pool.

Oh, really excited because it has been

24 years sinc the public has had access to the pool so I think it

We were inspired by the people who did not

A rallying cry went out for volunteers to turn it around.

Today, it is run by the community as a social enterprise.
